Yesterday morning I had a conversation with one of my friends at the gym about quitting drinking. It felt so good to talk about it. She had a lot of questions and also always has a great perspective on things.
Of course it was Halloween yesterday and as I was waiting in between trick-or-treaters I was having quite the conversation with myself. It went like this:
"Maybe my problem isn't that bad, maybe I don't want to do this forever, a glass of wine sounds nice, why am I doing this to myself?"
But both when I climbed into bed and woke up this morning the feeling had passed and I was very glad. I keep reminding myself about the things I hate about drinking. In fact, here is a list I made a couple of years ago...note the time I made it, in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep because I had been drinking.
I finished Jason Vale's book and am now reading "Mrs. D is Going Without". I knew I'd love it because of how much her blog spoke to me and its not been a disappointment so far. I love to read anyway and am especially enjoying the blogs and books I've found lately.
Here's to a sober November!
