Went to whole foods Bar last night and over ate. But, I did not drink nor even think about it.Bought raspberries, blue berries, cashews, sunflower seeds, hazel nuts and pistachio nuts ate all of the fruit with hubby and some of the nuts they were on sale and took them home. Then proceed to have "dinner" Order the 2 pattie burger with pepperjack cheese(no bun) with bacon and lettuce, extra tomato and purple onions with spicy brown mustard. It was very very good. Jeff had chicken salad and 3 beers over 3 hours.
I drank water.

Scale up this morning...186.
Must get going, need to take a shower.
Paper work and 2 loads of laundry are on the agenda after chicken and sausage gumbo for lunch. We have a friend coming over for dinner tonight. Jeff is making avocados stuffed with cheese and covered in hamburger and wrapped in bacon on the grill. Have had this before but don't remember . Sigh beer drinking before diners interferes with remembering great meals.
Think I will have another quick cup of coffee.

I'm glad that the Melatonin is working so well for you!

I wish that you would hold off for a while on discontinuing the Zyprexa tho... you are already tapering off of the Klonopin, and Zyprexa is a powerful med, even at low doses

I'm glad that you resisted your urge to drink last night ***strength***

I felt safe having that many nuts to eat in front of me(eating addiction). Next time I will just drink water, have that glass in my hand or even bring into the bar zevia drinks...I forgot that I can do that!!!!!

Thank you all for your support!
Hope you are having a good weekend so far.
Took a shower and washed my hair, put on clean clothes.
Did 2 loads of laundry scrubs hung and put away. other load needs to be folded. Socks and undies.
Finished all of my billing.
one hour to do more paper work.
rewarded my self some computer time because I finished my billing.
Talked to my sponsor carol today....changed my time to 8pm on tuesdays.
She was fine with that. She told me a bit about herself. I offed none....I tend to talk too much and did not want to do that with her. Asked her about another book that I was reading...she wants to go thru the big book with me, and thinks it is great to read other books and incorporate them. It is everyone's own journey. I will only go to AA once a week, on wednesdays.
Maybe I could go to the gym on mondays, Thursdays and saturdays?
I want AA to help me do things!
Ready to change my ways of thinking and doing.

Survived a cook out without drinking. At the dinner table we talked about certain chain of events being 2 years ago when I thought it was a year ago.
I think that I missed a lot by drinking over the years. My memory is horrible anyway and then on top of that to have missed so much....very sad.
We had one guest, Paul rode his bike over here so he could drink and not have to worry about a DUI.
One of my friends who I came out to last week asked me how I knew that I was an alcoholic? I told her that When I realized that last friday night I had drank the equivalent of 8 beers and drove home. That was the turning point for me. One week ago today:

So June 1st is my day one sober day.
I have done 6 weeks off for lent before but never intending to say good bye for good. the longest I have done with out alcohol is 5 1/2 months.
But I never wanted to give it up for good. It was always in my mind that I could drink moderately. But I can't do that, I have tried and failed so many times. So I will give up alcohol and reach for a sober life.

I feel very proud of myself.
Today after lunch I felt motivated to do some cleaning.
I swept all of the laminate floors with a broom then a swifter.
Can't believe there was so much cat hair!
Did spot cleaning, cat spit up and coffee spills
thru out the house. I scrubbed the kitchen floor and wet
swiftered it. Out side I shook 2 rugs, they were so dusty/dirty
there was a cloud of smoke out there!
I think I am done for the day.
Great start to cleaning my house!

I could never have the motivation while I was drinking...
it was all about drinking on sundays starting with
bloody marys sunday brunch.
Not today!
