3 second thought and then nothing

July 10, 2023

Woke up at 6 am so getting back into the normal routine and did not have any broken sleep.  My ear is still painful so I will need to get this looked at again.

I had a good morning working on some more of the project and slowly getting back into the rhythm of doing a little bit more every morning.  This morning, I also spent made some more improvements to this website and I am now thinking of ways for other fellow alcoholics to be involved.

Due to the good weather, when I was at the shop today, many people walked passed me with cider and beer.  For the first time in a while, I had a quick 3 second thought of, mmm, but this was quickly followed by me thinking, what’s the point?  For the rest of the time in the shop, I did not have any more thoughts about alcohol, and even though I am talking about it now, this thought does not even bother me this evening.  I know how better life is by not even buying alcohol.

It feels comforting to know that I have my triggers and cravings under control, I just need to maintain this when harder challenges occur.

Keep the routine and get the ear checked.

Gratitude:

I am grateful for getting back into a routine

I am grateful for the good weather

I am grateful for another day sober
