    Still No Rum In My House

    Well, I did it. I ran all my errands today and did not give into the small but noticable urge to buy rum. I have spent a lot of my day working in the yard and pumping the lemon juice. I am feeling excited. The advice/thoughts I received on my post really gave me a boost. I just want all of you to know that I really appreciated it.
    I have decided in my mind that I just got into a habit and I CAN undo that. I CAN enjoy life sober. I am thinking of starting some class to help with anger and emotional support, problem is I have limited resources. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions regarding that, even maybe a book that you have read.

      Try searching Amazon.com on those topics, then read the reviews. Don't just buy the book with the highest ratings, but the one with reviews that call out to you. That's how I found My Way Out!
      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.

        For me, anger came from emotional instability which was a side effect from my liquid ex-friend.

        When I'm sober, I look around me at my loved ones, and friends and house and career, and there's no room anywhere for anger.

        Keep posting here, healer. The time is now, and the motion is forward. Keep focused on the moment and things will swing into a new and better order.

            Hi Healer! I'm so happy to read about your good AF day, and your positive outlook about sobriety, and also your positive tone about dealing with potential issues. I too like reading book reviews on Amazon - I think they have a great way of organizing them. Also, one of the things that ended up on my "action" list when I stopped drinking was getting a library card again!! I love to read and as others suggested, rely on books a lot to at least explore possible directions to solve problems. So if you are near a library and don't use it....might be good for your sober to do list.

            You are doing great, and I hope you have another terrific AF day tomorrow.
