Well I guess there's no giving the vodka away. Mr. Fly opened it up last night and made himself a White Russian. He hardly ever drinks vodka. I was surprised. I'm also surprised that the vodka has NO POWER over me! I don't want it, don't think about it, don't crave it at all. Like I said, I've had other types of booze in the house all along and felt no cravings but I wasn't sure how I'd react to vodka.
I'm trying to get into working out regularly and have been doing some really heavy (for me) weight lifting. I'm following New Rules of Lifting for Women. I also got the Jason Vale book Slim For Life and am reading that. It's time that I cut out the sugar that I've been eating since I quit drinking.
Welcome back Bear. Strength and positive vibes to you.
Dizzy--Way to go on the weight loss! At 2 weeks in I noticed that my sleeping had improved greatly.
Sugar--I used to be extremely hard on myself too. I suppose I still am to some degree, but definitely not as bad as I once was. Perfection was the only thing good enough for me. Ridiculous if you think about it!
Almostfamous--I agree with what you said to Bear 100%. Each time I fail it gets harder and harder. And forever does seem overwhelming and I can see how it would discourage people to think that way. But right now the way I feel is infinitely better than I ever felt while drinking. I don't ever want this to end!
TDN--Interesting about family undermining our sobriety. I've got to say in my husband's defense I'm sure it's unconscious on his part. He is a sweetheart and I love him dearly. If I called him on it he'd be shocked and if he really thought about it he might see that it's true. A lot of our relationship has involved drinking. But he is a wonderful man. I'm sorry about the job but I agree that something will turn up and that this wasn't meant to be.
Blonde--Day 50 is soooo close! I love that you love your job. Funny, I'm listening to a hypnosis CD right now called "You Love Your Job." LOL! Trying to make myself believe it cuz there's no way I'm quitting after 21+ years.
Shue--How much longer are you on "vacation?" LOL. Stay strong.
Sunni--Snow? WTH?
Lav--Babysitter Extraordinaire! Tilly is such a sweetie! Great news that she slept the night through.
Kaslo--I found that info fascinating! I wake up with headaches often.
