Hey Newbies,
Just want to share my elation, glee, surprise, amazement that as of today I have not had a drink for one week.
I seriously cannot remember the last time this happened.
I am not minimizing when I say it was due to the support and advice I received from this community. And it gave me someplace to roam when my mind kept saying, "When are you going to have a drink? Is it time for a drink now? Gee, there's a bottle of XX down there. A little drink would be fine, just a half glass..."
I am so grateful for this week of freedom.
It has not been an easy one, but I feel so good to have my mental clarity and full recollection of all of the minutes in the last 7 days.
If I can do it, anyone can. Really. I took my bottles to recycling a few weeks ago and made $30!!! That's a heck of a lot of glass. My entire car was filled up. (It was an unmanned recycling station, otherwise I'd never have done it).
In fact, if you want motivation to assess your drinking habits, I'd suggest doing just that. Save all of your old bottles and take them in to recycle them. Seeing them all stacked up was unbelievable. There were so many. I felt sad and embarassed for myself.
Anyway, I'm just glad to have made it a week. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I can at least go one week. And it feels good.
Life is just a set of weeks stacked one after the other right? Someday i will get this right.
Hope yall had a great weekend.
