Actually achieving things

I am in the middle of baking a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies for my DH and son. I realized as I was mixing the dough, that I am actually achieving the things I planned on doing today. 2 weeks ago at this time, I was drunk (YES - at 1230 in the afternoon) and lying on the sofa staring at the television. Thinking about making cookies or cleaning the house, but never getting beyond the thinking part - except thinking to get another drink. I can achieve sobriety and return to being a better wife and mother. Have a wonderful, sober Sunday all. Anne

congrats to you Anne!! One day at a time!!

i have been where you are at. i remember sitting around drinking and thinking about what i should be doing but the only thing i managed to do daily was drink. i was good at it too. today i can actually i do accomplish the things i set out to do and they actually get done. what an awesome feeling. i am proud of you. keep up the good work!!

I was usually zoned out on pain meds. Today I rarely take tylenol. Oh I am still in pain but between the weight loss and my lack of meds I can tolerate it so much better. I am active dispite my aches and pains. With a clear head it does not seem as bad. Laurie

I remember a chair by my buddy Jim in Ben Lomond. He related how he used to get drunk on the weekend and think all about fixing up the house, mowing the lawn, doing some weeding, trimming the bushes, fixing the fence and damned! he was tired at night. Then he'd wake up the next morning and nothing was done. Vicki PS Zoe and I made choco oatmeal cookies, too. It's so...so...Norman Rockwell in all of his goodness.
