I'm having a productive day today. Made a list and I'm checking it off. So satisfying getting stuff done.
This time last week I bought 2 bottles to get absolutely out of my head and I poured them out.
Today I can't imagine why I bought them.. But I could of drank them and god knows what could have happened.
Feeling better doesn't mean cured .. Feeling better means 'take care, go slow.. Be mindful!'.
We can't go back.

Good for you for dumping them trees...it was a wise decision. I'm glad you are feeling good. And I agree about productivity. I can't believe how much I get accomplished these days. It feels so good. Life is manageable.
Talk about being productive. ...I knitted for hours tonight. I got everything done but the button bands. The hood took forever. Then I sew it all together and it's done!! I love it...although my grand baby daughter won't be able to wear it for a while. It's 12 month size and she's 5 months old.
It cooled down quite a bit here. Feels like fall. I took a nice evening walk with my furry babies tonight. It was their reward for keeping me company while I knitted and watched 24 on amazon. ...not netflix.
Ok...I'm pooped. Gonna take it easy again tomorrow. I was going to go to the lake but I think I'll stay home. Maybe go to the pool for some laps. Maybe I can finish the sweater.
Good night!

Is it quite today or I'm I getting chattier?
I made a list of all the times I regretted drinking versus the times I enjoyed it.
The list of regrets is so long and the memories.. Ouch .. Not wallowing, just reminding myself.. All part of my plan.

Hi trees!!! I am here if you want to say hello.
Morning SW and Sao!
Great work Forward. What allowed you to get to the door before stopping. When I feel like I need to leave to get something I stay extra still. I even go so far as to sit on my hands for a while. I also try going to sit on my meditation chair. Anything to wait until it passes. That's usually 1 minute to 30 minutes. Never usually more than that.
OK... One more meal before 11AM and then nothing until tomorrow around 5PM. They are going to knock me out so I won't know anything. I hate the big needle in the hand to do that but that's the worst of it.
Gonna brave reading the headlines. I will be back...

Good morning - I did set my alarm and I did go outside, just for a few minutes. I saw 2 meteors. I've seen perseids many times in my life, so for this year, 2 was enough. Now I have to try to get back to sleep. Hope all of you in other time zones are having a good day so far.

Well done, Trees. That list of things regrettable is a necessary exercise, I think.
After all the Perseid talk, when I woke at 1AM I figured I'd go out and try to see some. Made a nice mocha latte, got dressed, sprayed on the Skin So Soft to ward off mosquitos, went out. My first realization was that I was out on a Saturday night just about when the bars shut down. I decided to hit a park near my house - but there is no parking anywhere near it and I'm not walking alone at 1:30AM for any distance in a park. So scratch that. I was going to drive to my beach place, I know it would be dark there, but it's 20 minutes away and I wasn't that committed. So I drove up to the top of a hill where there is a big piece of undeveloped land/horse acreage. My eyes adjusted and - - nothing.
I haven't given up entirely on meteors this year, but I've given up for today and now I'm up for the day and on my second cuppa at 2:42. No second sleep for me. Maybe I'll drive up to the campgrounds tonight. Then again, maybe not. It was a good adventure. I kept thinking, "This is when all the 40 pound raccoons are out in gangs!"
They scare me. You know what doesn't scare me, though? Getting pulled over with no alcohol in my body for the last 29 months.
I'll be over here twiddling my thumbs for the next two hours in the dark.
