Sara - Thank you for posting such a beautiful poem. It resonated with me on so many levels and is such a powerful reinforcement as to why I will NOT be drinking today.

I am not going to drink today.
Hi everyone! I've decided I will not be drinking any AL today. Before I stopped drinking, I was in the depths of despair and wanted my life to end. Without AL, I want to LIVE. One drink would start that whole miserable cycle over again. So...I just won't take the first drink. Simple as that. No excuses.

I'm so touched that you liked my poem. Thanks again for saying so. It was written in a moment of true gratitude, and I guess that comes through.
Tonight I'm grateful for this site and this thread. I had no wish to drink today, in spite of having a rare evening alone with Hubby. He fixed himself a cocktail and I was not even jealous this time. I really feel that sobriety is healing my brain and my body and my soul, and I have no desire to go back to damaging those things! I remember all too well that even a few drinks of an evening can lead me to feel more depressed. I have been so happy lately...not gonna screw that up with wine!"When she enjoyed her drinking she couldn't control it, and when she controlled it, she couldn't enjoy it." (from The Big Book)

What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present. T.S. Eliot

Nope, no time that I would rather spend drinking instead of something productive.My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

Alcohol. What a complete waste of my precious time, precious mind, body, and spirit.
No time or desire for drinking here. There is far too much living to do! AF life is incredible.
The magic and the treasures just keep on coming.
What a gift.

I'm going to stay sober in the bright light of sunshine today. I'm not going with AL to the dark and ugly place. Not today. I'm grateful there are so many of us making this decision together, one day at a time.
