The REAL Me

Happy to be sober for a week today. I feel like I am back to being the "real me". The me that is passionate about life. The me that likes to wake up early after a good night's rest. The me that can smile at others and look them in the eyes and not be ashamed. I feel free and happy.

Whoot! Good for you.

Yes, it takes a week to feel human...its weird a full blown drunk can be better in a week....just stay away from the demon..and all else connects itself.
Happy week to you!

Great Job Vincent!!! Keep adding a day at a time. The good days seem to outnumber the bad days after that fog begins to clear. Are you in a program of any kind? Keep up the great work.

That's where my handle Impermanence comes in. I am not the drunk of yesterday. Today it's the me without booze. Everyday I am changing. Tomorrow I will not be the same as I am today.

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     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...
