I meditated in the morning, ran errands and had a heart felt conversation with a friend about why I’m not drinking and why I will never drink again.

I’m back on track, day four after 8 months of sobriety. I’ve spent the past few days studying and getting myself therapy and doctor appointments. I’m talking to my fiancé who is helping me from afar to get better. One day at a time

I’m just talking to myself. Asking myself whether drinking tonight will make me feel better tonight, make me happier? Will my evening get more interesting, do i need the careless numb and dumb feeling it makes me feel. Is it really that fun and that much better? No! It isn’t! The “good feeling”, stupid smile and the nonsense thoughts i expirience with alcohol are actually not that fun anymore. It’s actually quite boring!

I kept myself busy by cleaning out my dresser, going through my jeans and purging and finally cleaned out my makeup and organized my bathroom linen closet.

Welcome to the community Katherine! What a lovely time that must have been. Hope you are doing well and hopefully we will see you around.
Edit: FIRST I meant to thank you all for this thread – just what I was looking for (practical tips and examples).
Checked in here several times yesterday (I’m up in the middle of the night now after an hour or two of sleep). This is the only website whose desktop notifications I allow.
Sat on my meditation cushion twice – once for about five minutes, and later for about 10 minutes. I want to make this a daily habit again. Also, just sitting seems to help the sobbing and stress come out, even without doing any specific meditation technique.
Just had a light meal and am thinking a large tumbler of iced tea will be next, even though it’s the middle of the night. Will do some reading (internet or a real book), then back to bed sometime.

Just treated myself to a bacon and egg bagel and a laaaarge coffee at Noah’s. Enjoying some time to myself with my journal. Just made my entry for the day and ready to head out…maybe take a little drive, or hang out at the bookshop…who knows?
