I feel good today. Today will be an easy day to be sober. Weekdays usually are. I’m tired, the past 2 nights my mind has been racing at and I’ve found it hard to fall asleep. Dogs were up at 6:00. They both slept in the same crate last night and I didn’t even realize it until this morning (and was completely sober when tucking them in), funny!
New candy crush levels are out! This is another addiction of mine. I love to play with a glass of wine in my hand but I also love it without!
Doubts…Should I have started this blog? Is it really private? What if someone sees it? What if I can’t stop drinking forever? What if I don’t need to stop drinking forever? What if I don’t want to stop drinking forever? Who should I tell? What will they say? Do I really have a problem? What about vacations, holidays, weddings, weekends?

Still Day 3
Just thinking about how to write a blog, never done it before. It seems logical for each entry to have 2 parts. The first part will be about how I am presently feeling. The second part would be to discuss a topic, or write about events that have brought me to where I am today. I feel like writing about these things will be therapeutic.
For example:
I feel foggy today and have a slight headache. Remnants of the last drinking episode or lack of sleep worrying about this whole sobriety thing?
What’s on my mind is the idea of practicing quitting. I read something today that made me feel better. I’ve tried to quit drinking in the past, unsuccessfully, as many have. The idea that this was perhaps “practicing” instead of failing makes me feel much better. Practice makes perfect.

Day 3 October 21, 2014
Not sure where to start. Spent the day reading recovery blogs. Thinking it’s a good idea to write something down. It’s time to admit that I have a problem. Trying to create this for myself and hope I’ve made it private and that no one else will see it. Not ready for that yet. I’ve tried to quit before, can I do it this time? For the long term? Time will tell.
Note: This was 10 days ago and now I'm actually putting it out there!

Day 13
So...
A couple of weeks ago I decided to stop drinking. I also decided to start blogging. I started a blog on another site but I'm thinking I'm not loving it so I think I want to blog here. Obviously I have not idea what I'm doing, but I think the first thing to do is to copy all of my previous entries here and then I'll be caught up and can go from there. So that's what I'm going to attempt to do this afternoon and will see how it goes...
