my 8th day of sobriety

 

I made it through a weekend which included snowboarding (which usually includes beer afterward) and a UFC party at my friend's house (who has 3 good beers on tap).

 

I wasn't really even tempted once I got there, and nobody insisted I have a beer.  I was a bit worried about peer pressure but I left the ski hill early on purpose so I would not be sitting in the saloon being tempted by beer on tap like I have had for so many other weekends (all).

 

I have had to listen to my inner voice about 10 times today as I got off work early, started laundry, and sat around the house.  This is where I most often would drink.  I even tried to convince myself that I could drink just one day a week.  But my inner voice stepped up to save the day and  I listened but boy, it is difficult.  I had to speak out loud to myself about all the work I have put into this and how much time I have spent at the gym, my workouts are getting dialed in, I eat right (grazer, 5-6 times per day).  It is painfully easy for me to get into shape when I eat right and exercise regularly, I am one of the lucky ones.  Maybe that's why it's so easy for me to fall into the dark side; I always think I can recover easily as far as fat/muscle go.

 

I am looking forward to the day when my inner voice doesn't have to do battle with the other little (evil) voice.  thanks to those who have supported me.

Rock ON

You're not alone You're not alone

 

Listen bro its easy to substitute drinking with exersise and other activities, but to truly arrest it there are 12 step programs much like this one that really help.  I have been sober for 6yrs now and at just 29yrs old I have experienced much life in sobriety.  Contavt me if you want help finding a meeting.  Or just want to know more about them.
