Day 71, late afternoon

Today is day 71. I met my goal of regular exercise yesterday by lifting.  Today and tomorrow are free days.  If I want to exercise, great and if I don't want to, great.
Today, my Sunday, I had lunch with a childhood friend's parents.  It was a very nice visit.  On Saturday after work, my Friday, I had dinner with friends and family and then went to a play. These are things I wouldn't have been able to do on a weekend a couple months ago. My priority on my Friday would have been to make sure I had the alcohol I needed for the weekend and I would begin to drink as soon as I hit the gravel road to my house.  I would not be sober again until my Monday morning and then drink that night and go to work the next day, work repeat each night until the weekend and start over again.  Recognizing the change...it's nice.
No, thoughts of how alcohol would be nice as I had yesterday.  Too hot even for alcohol thoughts today.  That's pretty hot, I think. 
Today is day 71.  I am committed to making a life change.  I do not drink.  I am the tree, not the leaves.  I am the mountain.  It is day 71 and I am solid.
