Today is day 6. This will be the first Friday I have not drank in a long time. Oh boy......feels like I am climbing a mountain. I will not drink tonight. It seems silly I bet, but I feel like I have come a long way already and it hasn't even been a full week yet.
I will check out that song recommendation that was posted on yesterday's thread. Thanks.
I find it very refreshing to not have to think about drinking on a Friday.... I use to get all anxious on what am I going to do and where so I would feel left out. Now I don't feel left out because I don't do it anymore!
The first 6 days, with tomorrow making it your first week. The last thing I would call that my sweet friend, is silly....you are putting your Trust in this Process and sounds like you have the willingness, and that is all it takes, we share a very deadly disease, that is a fact.....and we do it just like you are doing it. One day at a time.....with tonight being Friday, cannot think of a better way to celebrate this major start up this mountain, and it just like climbing a mountain, You hit the nail on the head with that....anyway, how about celebrating it in a Meeting, sharing all that you are feeling about this new, and glorious way, up and out of this disease, with you and me and every other recoverying alcoholic.
When I began working the Steps, it felt just like you described, a long walk up a bumpy road, that led to the Top of that awesome mountain of Sober Recovery....
Love to see you Posting everyday, just like making marks or setting down some little rocks as you begin this life saving Journey..
