Saw this selfie from one year ago pop up. I was drinking at a bar trying to feel less upset about troubles within my family. I thought I looked good in this picture that day. Now I look at this and just think I look sad. I saved this photo today as a way to stay sober. Drinking just feeds depression. I don’t ever want to go back!

Today I visited friends and had a good time at a quilt shop. Didn’t even think about drinking.

Tonight I played Zelda with my daughter and put together a Lego model with my son. I love games and I love Lego, but when drinking I never think to do those things (or remember them, anyway).

Watched so many episodes of Selling Sunsets that I’m kind of embarrassed
Ate real food
Felt comforted in my Oodie
Gave away almost 90% of my glassware to my neighbours, all the good crystal, all the Laura Ashley and Vera Wang crap. It’s all gone now and actually met five new people who were really happy to take my stuff for themselves. Felt useful and a statement.

Today I cooked myself a VERY good salmon and brown rice dinner with tomatoes on the side. It was AMAZING. I put some garlic, garlic powder, salt, a pinch of black pepper, lemon, oil, basil, oregano and parsley on a 1/2lb salmon fillet. I put on parchment paper in a pan and then rubbed all the ingredients on top of the it. Baked it in the oven for 12 mins SO GOOD. If anyone feels like cooking for themselves this is a must recipe. If you want leftovers a 1lb or 1.5lbs would work too! I luv cooking especially with my health issues it’s really rewarding to make a healthy home cooked meal!

I made myself a fried pot roast sandwich from leftover roast from Christmas dinner that I cooked this year for the family. I then enjoyed a cup of Oreos and milk for dessert. I’ve allowed myself to enjoy sweets this year in place of alcohol. I’ve decided in 2024 I’m going to ditch processed sugar and focus on further improving my health! I will be working on my second year of sobriety in 2024 and am excited to progress!
