Day 2

It's hard to explain how I feel today.  My eyes are tired because I cried yesterday.  It seems to be a common theme for me to cry on day 1.  I think it is the realization that I need to be serious and fear that if I am not serious I will suffer the consequences.  I read from the online big book yesterday, the first 4 or so chapters.  It reaffirmed my belief that I am an alcoholic.  I almost feel like the book was written about me and am comforted by the fact that there are so many similarities between us.  So many people that know exactly what I'm going through makes me know that I am not alone.
I feel asleep shortly after laying down last night and slept the entire night through....a good nights sleep.  I hadn't been realizing that I hadn't been getting good nights sleep until having some nights being sober more recently.  Today I will keep busy.  I work all day, will go to the gym, and then work on my presentation that I am giving next Friday.  I will not drink today.
