Today I can have my laptop, Roku stick and Raspberry Pi all set up with a switch box to my television. Now off to shop and then some knitting. I love being sober and clean

Haven't been here for the last couple days as I had to clean out all the cabinets and pull everything off my walls so the pest control guy could come. Why? Because these days I'm sober so I can do these multi-day projects: even the ones that aren't so fun if they are needed.
And lets be honest here. If you put good music on these type of projects aren't so bad

Today I spent a good amount of time in multiple lines during this first week of college, had my student ID photo taken and my eyes weren't half masked and bloodshot, and finally made it home in time to watch the baseball game before I fall asleep only to go back and do it all tomorrow.

Today I can help my elderly parents enjoy a short vacation in the mountains, drive them around safely. I can be happy and calm even while helping them cope with the fact that mom is showing signs of dementia. I can enjoy the crisp mountain air.

Today I can get groceries out of the way early for the week, maybe go out to breakfast, get some walking in, spend time with my g-son playing with the play doh set I bought him,watch Fear the walking dead(even though I'm not sure I care for it yet)

Being sober means I was able to finish a paper that I started on yesterday before I was rudely interrupted and destroyed my thought process. Now I'm getting ready to watch a little television and color before going to bed.

Today I can get through work and this horrible anxious feeling that was awakened by a recent relapse and realize that drinking only serves to fuel the anxiety fire,come home and try to nap for a bit

Today I can appreciate my coffee, get some steps in, go to work, come home and get more steps in on fitbit, eat a decent dinner, spend time with hubs and son and actually be able to remember all we talk about

Winslow, I too love my fitbit! Great way to develop mindfulness about my physical activity.
Today I can wake up grateful that I am able to afford a small construction project to improve my basement ... instead of being resentful at the 8 am jackhammering!

For the better part of 3 years I drank to "silence myself" because when I spoke up for myself the consequences were Not Good.
Today I spoke up for myself. The consequences were Not Good.
But it was a relatively small matter. There will be bigger ones ahead. I guess I will have to speak More Slowly And Clearly instead of necessarily louder.
