Thank you for my hat, everyone! I can't say enough positive words about this sober life. My thoughts are clearer, my patience levels are higher, my productivity is off the charts, my house is clean, my weight is slowing dropping, my energy level is much higher, etc.....

The point is....every single facet of my life has improved over the past 30 days. It is the greatest feeling in the world to wake up NOT hungover. I don't have to struggle with not remembering things anymore. I don't know how many times I've blacked out and had complete conversations with people that I will never remember. The GSR (guilt/shame/remorse) brothers haven't come by to visit in a long time, and I don't miss them one bit!

A couple of things I've really tried to focus on lately are:

(1) Drinking is not synonymous with celebrating. Celebrating should be a reward of something that's GOOD for you. Drinking poison is NOT a reward or a celebration. It's a punishment.

(2) I used to be so worried about what OTHER people would think if I didn't drink. Who cares what people think? They don't have to live with you. You do. Most people who give you crap about you not drinking are probably jealous or have a problem themselves. People come and go from our lives, but you will always live with yourself. People don't worry about you as much as you think they do - seriously!

Guys, please please please stick with your goal of living sober. It is SOOO worth it!

Fin, I was concerned when I didn't see you posting for a couple days. I am so glad you came back. :l

Thank you, NoSugar. My father, a very significant figure in my life, passed away two weeks ago and it was just too much for me. I ran the memorial service where over 125 people attended. It was incredible. All of my first cousins where there (some who love their very high end wines) and one night we cracked open a bottle of wine that was valued at something like $500. It seemed right to toast not only my father, but another cousin who recently passed who had originally purchased the bottle of wine. So, I caved after 70 days of being AF. Was it worth it, you know...it really wasn't. I didn't need to do that, but I didn't want to draw any attention to my problem at that moment.

Oh well. Back to work...a special thanks out to Bryd for getting me right back on track!
