Still Sober and Getting Better All The Time
I am still sober and yesterday was the first day I didn't crave a glass of wine! Woo Hoo! I am working on changing the habits that contributed to my drinking and that remind me of drinking. One of my major habits was to come home from work, pour the first of many glasses of wine and sit down and watch the news while chatting with my wonderful DH and cuddling with my dogs. Well, I've changed the wine to Crystal Light. Yep, sounds sort of corny, but it is working for me. I make a big pitcher each night and then the next day I fill a nice glass (not a wine glass) up with ice and start loading up, just like I used to do with wine. I've been doing my Reiki everyday with the intent of healing my alchololism and that is really helping me. I've noticed that my bloating is gone and my rings fit better...I've probably lost some weight! Life is getting better all the time. We can do this if we do it for us and support each other. Love you guys!
Way to go, Denise. I have a pitcher of iced green tea in my fridge, and that is my "****tail" when I get home from work. I am addicted to it. It has many health benefits. Changing our habits is the key. There is a saying "If you always do, what you always did, you'll always get what you always got." keep up the good work. Hugs, Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hi Denise.. thanks for the happy post. It's always good to hear how others are "kickin the habit". It sounds like you are getting a handle on your addiction and that's wonderful. For myself.. it's just determination of not wanting to go backwards... I always want to go forward. Knowledge is a beautiful thing.. and I first had to acknowledge that my drinking was not good for me (my body). It took me a while to see that.. and I think I saw it first thru my boyfriend who was also addicted. He had WLS also.. I didn't like the affects of alcohol on him.. and realized that's what I looked like also. We are both on the continual road to recovery... it's been a little over 3 months for myself and exactly 3 months for him today. I think now we are both just to stubborn to be the first to fail.. LOL.. thank GOD.
Love ya.. take care and enjoy that ice cold crystal light tonite
