    I did it!

    As I have mentioned, Wednesdays are a bitch for me. I go to therapy where I hash out the crap of Hurricane Katrina, my abusive childhood and my fears etc.

    What do I want to do when I leave therapy? Yes, I usually stop at the store before I get home and buy something to drink.

    Yesterday was different. I didn't do it. Got a massage instead and that made me think a lot about how she was loosening up the toxins in my body so it could heal. I came home and relaxed a bit. At some point, I started those destructive thoughts - "maybe I'll have a drink and relax. I feel a little wired so one drink and a cig will take the edge off". I got busy instead. I swore I would not give into this beast. I organized my office, popped in my Seinfeld DVD and laughed a lot.

    Went to sleep thanking God and the universe that I was sober. Sunday was the last day I drank but I am already thinking "oh oh- it's not really 4-5 days yet". I am going to live completely in the moment today and hope for the best.

    Thank all of you for your support. I am feeling so much a part of this community and it helps a great deal.

        Wonderful Job Nowandzen....keep thinking those good thoughts and remember what it feels like to go to bed sober and wake up knowing you didn't drink the day before.

        Life throws us curve balls now and then, we just have to push through them and fight the beast off! People live through stress everyday without picking up a drink or cig...we just have to re-learn to be like them again!

        You are doing awesome, keep it up!
