What I Accomplished Today Because I Did Not Drink
Woke up, although not as early as I would have like, refreshed, not dehydrated, feeling positive.
Went for a run on the Health for the first time since Christmas.
Spent quality time with my daughter.
Took the Christmas tree down (I really hate this job)
Wrote in my journal.
I am on day three now, and am grateful to feel the chaos and anxiety that comes from drinking slip away.
Enjoy your day everyone!While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

What I Accomplished Today Because I Did Not Drink
I woke up unhung and energetic, took note of the beauty of the light in the sky and on the fields and trees as I drove to work, had a productive day at work, came home and made a pretty dang good dinner! I know it's just regular stuff, but it was the quality of my day more so than the actual events, that I consider the accomplishment. I used to wake up dehydrated and sluggish at best, every day, muddle through the day wondering if I looked as bad as I felt, and came home to start the whole darn cycle over again while cooking dinner. NOT TODAY!!Dill

Today I got the final bits and pieces together for my hubbys immigration application. I went to the therapist, did all my ironing, continued with the big clear out, organised my paperwork, spoke to a good friend, had a bath, read my book and was even nice to my mother in law.
All made possible by the letters a and f!'Breakfast, every hour, it could save the world.' Tori Amos

DillyDally!!! :l
Have not seen you in a while - you are well, yes??
I caught up on some much needed sleep today. That's pretty much all I can claim to have accomplished. Not sleeping worth a dime, the last few nights.Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

I watched TV comedy show and had a great sober laugh. I talked to my girlfriend on the phone without slurring my words. I felt in control of my impulses to drink and abstained. Right now this evening I contemplate a possible future without alcohol related illness.Comment

What I Accomplished Today Because I Did Not Drink
I woke up unhung and happy to greet the day instead of wishing I didn't have to go through it with a hangover.
I slept like a log because I didn't drink. If I'd been drinking, I would have had an unquenchable thirst that would not have been abated by refilling my water glass ever hour during the night.
I spent an inordinate amount of time on business and accomplished things I know I couldn't have if I had been drinking or hungover
Worked out TWICE
Had a lovely AF dinner with a friend
Talked to my mother without slurring my words, and I remembered the whole conversation!
Cassia, I loved your post.....ALL MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LETTERS A AND F. In my drinking days...this is what my vanity license plate could have said, "HUNGOVR"Comment

I primed the replacement boards for the back porch, worked out, ran work errands, picked up another antenna for my satellite radio and installed it, picked up food for the cats, made dinner & now I'm relaxing!

I had a long talk with my husband about my problem, trying to help him understand it better. We got a little closer and grew together as a couple because I wasn't drinking and separating myself from him with my wine.

Today I put in the footings for the first section of the limestone wall I'm building...in the rain. It felt wonderful to be out there, full of enthusiasm and the joi de vivre. I prepared an amazing dinner and a sweet and now I'm catching up on the boards.
I think this thread is very motivating. I think about what I'm going to write as I'm performing the tasks.:h Mish :h

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

I listened to my daughter read her book, and then explained the history of Henry XlV's wives. I love this time with her.While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.
