Day 42, morning

It is day 42.  I survived having feelings.  :)  The temptation to drink them away was really strong.  I was able to sit in them and just let myself feel.  It eventually passed and it was a good thing.  I'm happy with the choices I made last night.  I could have gone a different route.  I did not.  I am making a life change.
Went to the forest this morning.  Was quite nice.  Walked the dogs, took photos.  Tried to just be present in the moment and not too much in my own head.  I did a bit of both and that was ok.
Feeling good this morning.  That I was able to make the choice not to drink in that circumstance has given me something.  Not confidence, but something that I can't explain....just that it feels good...that I feel good in a new way.
Today is day 42.  I am making a life change.  I do not drink.  I am the tree, not the leaves.  I am the mountain.  Today is day 42 and I am solid.
