Rough day BUT...

I had a couple of rough hours with huge cravings for beer to relieve my stresses today but I took deep breaths instead, ate pumpkin seeds and drank lots of water!

I finally settled kids to bed and am able to relax and read blogs.  I discovered a new blog today and when I wrote my amount of sober days, something didn't seem right so I took my calendar and counted...

I'm at day 27!  Day 27!  I thought I was at day 24.  I feel so excited because it's almost been a whole month!...and summertime...hot weather...surrounded by beer drinkers....wow....

I did have one slip up last week sometime but I remained sober so I refuse to start over. It just made me stronger and helped me realize that I really don't want booze as part of my life!  I will deduct a day from my count though and officially say that I haven't had a drink in 26 days!

Thanks to all my blogging friends.  You have helped me tremendously on this journey so far.  

It was a rough day BUT...I can go to sleep feeling blessed and grateful for being sober.

  2. isn't it nice to learn that a rough day does not equal alcohol. it just equals a rough day ... some days suck rocks. doesn't mean anything. other days are glorious :) hooray for you.
