Went to a meeting today. Big bday meeting for a lot of people and it was crazy to look at these guys and see that some of them had been sober 35 years. I have been to this meeting before and saw some of the same guys that I had seen. It was encouraging to hear them talk. I didn't raise my hand but hope to work up to that. My dad is huge in AA. 26 years sober. Haven't told him yet and a little concerned over the insta-bro treatment I will get from him once I do, but I will need to tell him at some point. I am sure he already has an idea. That is the update. Day 3 almost in the books. Thinking again about being that guy that doesn't drink seems weird, but being that guy that drinks the way I do is clearly worse. One day at a time.

Good morning all my sober comrades. 6:34am here in California. Today is day 7. I am very thankful for my sobriety today. I feel so different than I did last Saturday. The wife and I went out to dinner last night. She is totally behind me not drinking again. Last time she didnt really think of it as a long term thing. This time, she does. That helps a lot because I want to be a better husband and father and she knows that one drink and I am not. Got back into a great sleep pattern this week. it was great no waking up and needing to drink a half gallon of any liquid just to settle myself. Also, was super clear headed this week and didnt have the anxiety behind business decisions that I have been experiencing recently. Really helped my head. I did have to avoid a couple situations that would just be drinking sessions with buddies and colleagues.
This morning I woke up at about 3:30am. Couldnt go back to bed so I got up. Took the dog out in the backyard and was thinking how different I looked to the drunk idiot in the backyard last weekend at the exact same time. Feels good. Have made some progress. Thankful for my sobriety and for all of you. Keep coming back here. It works.

Hi my sober team,
tomorrow will be week 3. Feeling good. Have been in a few situations where I would normally drink and didnt. I want to be sober and will continue to work my plan. Know that it gets better. Life gets better. You guys are all great. Thanks for the continued reminder that we all have a disease and it cant be beaten except through sobriety. Love you life!
