89
Good morning all. Happy Thursday. I'm up early today. Why not. Got a load of laundry going. Coffee brewing. Outside listening to the birdies waking up. A little on the chilly side today. But it is 5 in the morning. As I write in my journal I kind of glanced back. Just to see the progress I have made. Like most post that I have read. It is a process. (Recovery) I jotted down my feelings and sure enough things were improving. My sleep is so much better like I go to bed naturally. Not this booze infused sleep. Well more like pass out then up like two am cause my body is going to withdrawal. Things I realized after the fact. My emotions are real again not diluted with booze. Drama is almost non existent. I mean theres life stuff. The norm but I can deal with it. Actually come to find out that the things I am dealing with are so much easier to handle without booze. Booze just intensified the problem. I can easily put the fires out. Now the suggestions I say and stuff people actually listen and apply. Where as before they just thought I was some boozed up fool talking nonsense. And good things are happening. That I am greatful for. I have a job super big plus. But the best gift of all is my sobriety. On day 89 today. That in itself is a miracle in my eyes. So you folks out there that want what I have. Just know that it can be done. Put the bottle down . easy? No.doable? Yeppers. Just one day at a time. Thats it. I promise you .you will not regret it. And you wont want to lose it once you get a taste of it. And with that I will keep coming back.

Hey, SoberRican-thank you for an excellent post; so much good comes from sobriety, and you are a fabulous example. In your short time here you have become an inspiration. I have 3 years 8 months, and I really appreciate your wisdom. I'm very glad you are here-you are doing much good.

Thats the perk of sobriety least for me. So when its quiet time I knock out and sleep like a baby. Gotta go flip my birdie. Keep coming back.

I havent really gave it much thought being every sober day is a day to celebrate. Lol. I'm kind of getting my ducks in a roll with house chores for my mom and pops. They have been so good to me. That way I can go and have me time.. Lime tonight I might go for my walk by the river again. And maybe try my luck at the casino. Trust me I dont get carried away lol 20 bucks is my limit. But hey they have free pop. And who knows what activies could be going on. . not to mention people watching is free. Lol. Keep coming back
