Well it is Day 19 of my journey. I have been sober for 16 days now.
I have been listening to "The Naked Mind" and it is really hitting home. I am also reading "Kick the Drink Easily" by Jason Vale. They are similar, but the way I feel right now is the information that is being conveyed is worth hearing again and again, after all, the tv, radio and internet all promote alcohol over and over again as something wonderful that will do wonderful things for you. They neglect to mention what alcohol really is, a poison.
I am not craving alcohol today at all. Actually for the first time since I stopped drinking, I am sick for other reasons than a hangover. It is kind of refreshing not to feel guilty for feeling bad, lol.
I don't feel guilty at all right now and that is so different than in the recent past. I love this feeling. Tomorrow is a very full day for me, I work all day and all evening. It is a day that in the past has left me craving. I think I will load up on knowledge today from these books to help me make it through tomorrow.
I just spent the last hour reading and rereading my early posts. I can see growth. I can feel a difference. I am really glad I started blogging.
