What does this have to do with enjoying the simple life? Everything! Each day I get up...I mess around on facebook, email, this forum etc. Then I do whatever tasks necessary. I go to my daughters swim lessons, staff meetings etc. But what's different is I'm not in a hurry for my "day" to be done. Before it was always about getting through all this stuff so I could stop running and start drinking. Now, I just do what's in front of me. This last weekend my husband and I went to a haunted house/zombie paintball thing. We went out to dinner and stayed up until 3am watching scary movies. While this might be silly...I enjoyed myself. Am I missing drinking? No...not really. Not at all!!
What I am enjoying far outweighs any fantasy or romantic thoughts about alcohol. I am having more fun now and doing things that I haven't done in years. Which doesn't take much considering my life before was just sitting on my butt drinking.
Anyway - my point is this, enjoy each and every day. No matter how exciting or boring it may be. We got through it sober, and that is something to celebrate!!
