Asked God for help.
Called my sponsor, plus 2 other recovered women of AA.
Read my big book.
Came here to SR.
Listened to a new open talk from an AA member.
Nourished my body, by eating healthy and took my vitamins!
Spent time with my family, had a nice day together.
Sunshine and mild exercise.
Treated myself to a beauty makeover with new skincare and makeup to look and feel beautiful.

1. Came to SR to post my daily gratitudes in the gratitude forum.
2. Responded to other struggling alcoholics in the forum, because it also helps to keep me well.
3. Ordered the kindle-edition of "Spirtuality of Imperfection" based on another SR member's recommendation.
4. Fought the urge to be lazy today and decided I am responsible, instead.
5. Will order the AVRT book to learn of that program; to my knowledge, it wasn't available when I got sober and I want to learn about it.
6. Keeping an open mind
7. Living in the moment, doing my "thang", enjoying life and letting the outcomes of situations be what they will be.

Have conversation with God. Any time, any where. Do something for someone else, and not tell anyone about it. Pray for others who need prayer. Volunteer my time and skills toward a cause that I am passionate about (for me, neighborhood legal clinic and the USO). Attend AA and CA meetings.

Day 3 so not great at this yet!
SoberJennie, I wasn't aware there were online meetings? These would be very helpful for me as I cannot attend RT meetings. Could you tell me how I can access these? Thanks!

- Read SR
- Talked to myself a LOT
- Reminded myself why I'm doing this
- Being aware of the 'addict voice' in my head and did the opposite of everything it said!

My staying sober allows me to give my dogs the best possible life... so that's what I do with my time: give my dogs a wonderful life. It rewards me for staying sober as I look at them and see shiny happy healthy faces, all the reward I need.

I woke up sober
Spent half an hour on the beach as I do every morning connecting with my HP
Spoke to another alcoholic
Cleaned my rooms
Spoke to my Mum and Dad
Relaxed
Later I shall visit an AA buddy and we shall go walk her dog and talk the good talk whilst walking the good walk
