Mondays for me are a whole different ball game now that I'm sober on Sundays. Sundays = drinking for me. How did I ever get up & go to work or take care of the g-kids? I guess I just pushed myself through, but is that a way to go through life? For what? Just to feel numbed out.

It has been one year since I realized that mod drinking probably would not be for me. I've had some breaks in the AF runs that I've had, but I don't think I've had more that 15 - 20 days of drinking since July of 07. That's pretty good for me. I know I've changed & am breaking the back of the booze beast. There were so many habits (involving drinking) that have been broken & replaced w/non-drinking.
-drinking while cooking.
-drinking at social events either at my home or at someone else's.
-drinking when bored.
-drinking all day on Sun.
-drinking when I'm nervous or conflicted.
-drinking whenever I could do it alone.
