Day17
Made it through the urges the other night. I did say some prayers the following morning thanking God for getting me through. A couple friends wrote to gie advise and to check in which is the great thing about DS.
The other thing is that you can read about other people's experiences and learn what to expect. Based on what I have read, the WillPower method is rarely a sucess. Keeping this journal, and the occasional comments I get does give the extra support that has helped me stay on track.
That being said, I am starting Day 17. I noticed something last night. I was reading this novel that I have been trying to get through for the past two months reading a couple pages a night before I would fall asleep. It was after 10, I still had lots of energy and my reading speed was phenomenal. I burned through about 25 pages in about 40 minutes. I can't remember the last time I did that.
Maybe alcohol left a few brain cells in tact.
It's going to be a great day today. The weather is supposed to be excellent. My wife and I have plans to work outside.
My goal today is to work on strengthening my relationships with my wife and sons by training my mind to focus and concentrate on every conversation I have today, to actively participate in events of the day, and to show more love to my family.
