I am so grateful to be sober and unhung today. I was hot flashin' last night so at 4AM felt like just getting up and getting the day going. I love being up and about really early like this when I can just do what I please without distraction! Even the doggies leave me alone! :H
I've got a lot I want to get done today so there is no room for AL, my old procrastination buddy. I am still amazed at the thousands of times (literally!) that I convinced myself that "a drink" would motivate me to start a project or get some work done. Little to nothing ever got done except me getting drunk, again. Over and over and over I believed my own BS. Cunning, baffling, powerful indeed. This scenario is another reminder that I always need to check my motives. AL is such a liar and made a liar out of me too.
I'll have to report back later and for accountability purposes, let you all know if I accomplished anything on my long list of stuff I want to accomplish today! :H One thing I KNOW I will accomplish today is staying sober. And really, that's the one thing that matters most today. So it will be a good day no matter what. How cool is that? LOTS better than the old days where I would swear to myself that today would be different. Then not only did I get nothing accomplished, but let myself down by drinking. AND set myself up for a crappy hungover day tomorrow. Oy. I'm glad I don't live like that any more.
Have a fabbie day one and all!
