    ...but I didn't drink.

    I goofed off too much yesterday...I'm a great procrastinator
    But I didn't drink.

    I thought of how I want to be *that* person or *that* person?people I see in public who clearly have it all together...jogging, well-dressed, looking happy?and thought that I was none of those things
    But I didn't drink.

    I thought of our money woes, and how my husband, though I love him very much, is a lazy drunk himself
    But I didn't drink.

    I mowed the lawn that was nearly up to my knees in some places
    And I didn't drink.

    I went grocery shopping and bought healthy food.
    And I didn't drink.

    I did the dishes?all of them?for the first times in months
    And I didn't drink.

    I gave myself a break about not suddenly turning into "Super Woman", like those people I see. I have a goal, I have a plan, and I am following it.

    And I'm not drinking today.



    Love,

    Nichau

      Hey Nichau

      Love that quote! So happy for you that you are readjusting.

      I think I am admitting to myself what a struggle this sometimes can be.

      Play on sister! I'm working on a new song and hope tp master it by days end. And I won't drink.

      Thank you

        Sounds like a "Super Woman" to me!
        There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes
        You can dig the ventilation... or you can sing the blues

        I didn't come this far to only come this far.

          Beautiful quote! I swear, some of the stuff that people say around here really should be published.
          I too mowed the lawn without drinking. Sometimes I used to wake up and wonder who mowed the lawn, because I was so tanked I didn't remember doing it. This time, I cranked up my iPod and sung at the top of my lungs to guns n roses radio on pandora.
