Good Morning Everyone!
I had a fitful night's sleep as expected but at least I'm not hungover!! I read a lot of posts yesterday and some this morning. It's really amazing how much I see of myself in others and never knew it. I had all these plans today-cleaning the whole house, shopping, taking the dogs for a long walk, finishing the Addiction Cure book-and in one of the posts i read where we tend to overcompensate for not drinking by going crazy with overdoing. So, I think I will prioritize and set a goal of completing 3 tasks today. I really feel the pressure as i only have 2 full weekends a month to get things done. However, hopefully without making time for AL, I will have more time to do the errands and chores I never get around to.
It's going to be a beautiful day today in MA so I will take advantage of that and my highest priorty will be to take the dogs for a lovely walk. They will be so psyched and I will get my exercise in.

Today I will try to remember that I am in recovery, just like recovery from surgery, and be kind to myself. I know tonite will be tough but I will come back to this forum for support.

Have a great day everyone!!
