Another Day

Another day sober it's been 2 moths and 7 days although I still have the urge starting over makes no sense so I continue on this journey of not drinking and I'm taking it one day at a time.

Texas, That is what we all have. One day at a time. It all adds up. Brings happiness into the heart. I am so glad you never gave up. 2 months and 7 days is great. Goes by faster than ya think doesn't it? Good job keep on going. I have faith in you!

Hello TexasMade,

You have not taken a drink today and that is a miracle that you can build on. You will see people with a few years sober and sone others with many years but I like the quote that says: "The person with the longest sobriety is the one who got up the earliest today".

I get up every day at 5 am everyday and it's not to go to work. I did when I was drank too. So I guess that quote does not pertain to me. But it sounds good :)

I know that if I try to look too far ahead, my anxiety level will skyrocket and I'll feel like taking a drink.

So I just focus on today. One day at a time.....one hour at a time.....one minute at a time.....one second at a time!

God Bless!

1is2many. I agree. I thinking giving drinking up was the hard part. I kept saying tomorrow. Like a diet or anything you know you have to do, it's tomorrow. I think about that when I think of a drink, having to start that whole crap over again and going on and on drinking until I stop again, if I even could..

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
