Edging on 5 months now. Woo hoo! A couple of weeks ago I had the flu....bad. I laid on the couch and was thinking, why me? I mean, I felt like total junk. Then, I closed my eyes for a minute and started to think of the feeling I had every morning before I got enough alcohol in my body to rid the shakes. The flu was nothing compared to that. Nothing!
I am still so baffled as to how I am going to go the rest of my life without drinking, but I know that for today, no alcohol. And, I feel great....at least in that department!!
Gratitude alway helps when I'm feeling sorry for myself, but it usually takes someone to remind me. Being home sick is another good reason to have lots of phone numbers. I'm blessed, today, to have about 5 women who will call and check on me if they haven't heard something or seen me in a day or so. It really helps!!
