40 day Lenten Journey~ without a Bottle
Since Ash Wednesday..6 days ago 2010- I have been holding fast to my Lenten Vow- NOT DRINKING. The hardest was this past Saturday..which was usually a ritually filled night of drinks and friends and more drinks--- and a late dinner. I got thru it- instead with Iced tea and family Wii night with the wife(who was drinking) and my boys. It was really quite fun...playing golf and bowling---and watching my wife, act as usual- but me→ 'not so much'!
Sunday and now Monday have past with no Alcohol. Mornings seem so much better. It's a good feeling to wake up feeling clean and refeshed vs- (well YOU know) - and get off to work early.!!I've gotten more done in the past 6 days than I care to remember- and family IS noticing a new person, in ME. Updates to follow. Tommorrow is 1 week .!

So the family is noticing a new person. How cool is that.!.That sends a powerful message to what this sacrifice is all about.......... Living life happily with the body mind and soul which God gave you.!........pure and sober!...That\'s great Jimmy.
Lead with your heart....Peace!
Yeah, it feels awesome to wake up sober. I hated getting up after a long night of binge drinking....filled with shame, self loathing and regret. Not to mention a terrible hangover! Now I get out of bed with a smile on my face. Amazing, Carpe Diem=)
