Something finally clicked
 

Day one, again. But yesterday it all seemed to click with me. I had a moment of sorts and I really feel like this is the last time for real. I can't explain it. I only had a few beers yesterday so there wasn't any sort of typical rock bottom moment, but it just all made sense.

I picked up my 4 month old this morning and whispered in his ear "I won't drink anymore". And something about making this little promise to a child that can't understand me gave me a new level of accountability I have never felt before.

I can't recommend the book "Drunk Mom" enough by the way. It is the third for me in a series of audiobooks that are helping me get through my alcoholism (Dry and Blackout being the others.). I am not a mom, but I am a new dad and I could relate to a lot of what she wrote.

I am writing out a plan this time, making some changes. I am going to go in for a physical and discuss all of this with my doctor. Thanks as always for all your support.

Happy sober weekend everyone!
