Great work, Kevin!
I was able to help family members in need for most of the day. Then cleaned, got groceries, cooked, knocked out some work emails and still have time to be lazy with Netflix tonight! Day 22 and I'm amazed every day.

Knowing I have an 8am presentation coming up and won't have to have this conversation with myself:
Okay, where am I at? Am I too drunk? Not drunk enough? Did I get any puke on my suit? No, good. Should I eat something? Yes, I should eat something. Will I have time to puke again before I get there? Not sure. Okay, let's not eat then. One more shot and we'll be right as rain.

A nice dinner with family today. I didn't have to drink a ton before (knowing no one else in my family would drink at dinner) I didn't have sneak an "extra" to drink in the restroom. I won't feel horrible tomorrow and enjoy church with my family. I'll go in not feeling like a big hypocrite.

Having a panic attack based on a bunch of stressful LIFE events, instead of having a panic attack at 2am from alcohol withdrawal. As strange as it sounds, I'm glad I'm feeling real emotions, even if they're not the most pleasant.

Being productive. The other one is being clear minded. Not just in the sense of my brain feels like it works properly, but I feel clearer about my choices and decisions, and naturally makes ones that are better for me.
On the weekend I saw a guy I used to see casually at wedding. I used to get myself in knots about this guy because I liked him but he was just using me. He's actually sexist, immature and annoying. Now I just look at him and think, blech! What was all that fuss about?!

I buy half the toilet paper I used to. Trash day (today) is 3 neat bags. 5 months ago it was 5 industrial size clear bags (had a lot-agift from wife's work) showing all the 24-32 oz cans, vodka bottles, pizza boxes,spent tp rolls (we did not recycle) etc. to the world. I would wait til the truck was almost here to put trash out. 3 extra garbage bags a week from 2 people (wife quit with me, yay)--this doesn't count all the empties chucked out of the car window on road trips (so we wouldn't get caught with empties?)

Today. Today has just begun for me, was thinking about some problems while waking up. Despite that, I also had a sense of optimism about the future, that I could take action, confront the problems and things could be better. Optimism was just a word to me while drinking. The day could get better or worse, hard to say, but that optimism was pretty alright.

being able to wake up at 0430, get my things together and be up in a tree by sunup and not trembling or shaking or freezing. and being able to focus my vision that early.
that, instead of - it's cold out there I need to crawl back into bed and sleep this off.
