Setember Sanctuary - Week 4

Good Morning Everyone,

Rustop-thank you for getting us started this week. I hope you had an enjoyable walk this morning. A great way to start the day!

My thinking has changed so much now that I have had some AF time under my belt. Several years ago, when my drinking was beginning to escalate, just the dread of going on a trip where I would be with a client that I wasn't crazy about, (at that time, it was a trip to England) I would have gone out on a major binge to try and forget the fact that I was so reluctant to go. So, I would wake up with a horrible hangover....and not only was I still going on the trip, but I would be going with shame and self-loathing. This is how I felt on Saturday..dreading this trip. But I did not drink this time...and I just worked through it, and told myself...this too shall pass and you know what? This trip hasn't turned out to be bad at all. It took me a long time to change my thinking, but I did it.

Just a thought for the day. AF4ME.

Have a great AF Monday, everyone!
