Day 1 ... Feeling Good!
Day one..........
I cannot tell you all how happy I am!!
Yes HAPPY...
You may ask why?
Shouldn't I be miserable ... Sick, remorseful ?
Nope.. I drank and admit it.
I didn't do anything bad.
Didn't cause any trouble to anyone directly.
Didn't drive. Didn't even go out of the house.
I drank alone... All alone..
I hid it well.... No one knew (but me).
But now I am back to square one.
Looking forward to being clean..
I really liked the sober me.
Because I know how good I feel when sober....
I love the confidence I have....
I love how my body feels when booze free..
So I can't wait until tomorrow to be on day 2.. and so on.
So I am Happy to be back Here.
Thank you SR for being here for me.

Man...I struggle with the answer to the simple question.
As an alcoholic, I have had some success at sobriety.
Gone many months at a time completely clean and sober.
But then "out of the blue" .. I drink. Which normally goes for 1 week or a month.
Then quit and start another round of soberness.
This cycle has gone on for 2 years.
Today is day 2 ..
So..
What's the plan?
Not to drink.
I know .. I know ...That's not a plan for long term success.

When I first stopped drinking I structured the entire day:
Wake up
Coffee
Gym
Work
Hot bath or shower after work
Dinner
Log on to SR
Hot tea
Netflix or Read
Rinse and Repeat
Day in and day out this was what I did. It really did help in the beginning when I was forming a new habit of not drinking. Eventually, the habit of "not drinking" was my norm.
