Big Girl Pants and Fear. August 2, 2015. Big Girl Pants and Fear. 399 days ago I choose to stop drinking, well I choose to do so before that specific day but that’s the day I did it. And I did fear. So I do fear. Well no shit Sherlock. That’s not new, except the clarity with which I see it and understand it is. I also popped a note on the Living Sober website trusting that support would come back and of course it did. My other coping mechanism was to hit the wee shop up the road where I brought support s...

The Thread is Unravelling But in a Good Way. June 11, 2015. The Thread is Unravelling But in a Good Way. I eat to fill up or fill in. What exactly I don’t really know just now. Perhaps an empty space I am afraid to have empty or a space I am afraid to face or afraid to simply let be. There is so much I want to do, that I could be doing. Hell, I’ve certainly got the time to do anything and everything I want and yet I plant my butt squarely on that couch and then struggle to get up and move again. I have t...

High Fives to Me! | doingwithoutalcohol

High Fives to Me! June 29, 2015. High Fives to Me! 1 year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours and 525600 hours ago I made the life altering decision to stop drinking. I’ve gone through anger, resentment and frustration at not being able to drink, I’ve done confusion over how to get through the arrival of my first grandchild, Christmas and New Years without a drink. I’ve done a lot of high intensity almost overwhelming emotions and you know what……….I survived it. Do I sometimes still want a drink, ...

Ten Months: Progress Not Perfection | viatoday
https://viatoday.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/ten-months-progress-not-perfection
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Starting today I am on my way. Ten Months: Progress Not Perfection. My last drink was May 12, 2014, ten months ago yesterday. That night, I told my husband, after a few failed (not-so-serious) attempts in March, and three failed (serious) attempts in April, that this was it. I was doing the 100-Day Challenge and I was going to stick with it. Most likely yes. But me, could this really be happening to be? It couldn’t be happening to me; could it? I couldn̵...

Trying to ace sober living. July 20, 2015. I went to see Aerosmith last night. They played in our small city, at an outdoor venue. Let me start by saying it was awesome. They rocked. The weather was perfect. It was fun, fun, fun. Honestly, I will admit I have never been much of a concert person. They are loud, crowded and smelly. And the line ups for beer and bathrooms? I had a fantastic time. I had a great time. I loved every song. I remember everything. I danced (well, shifted around) and d...I laughed...

Trying to ace sober living. June 17, 2015. As I left work yesterday, happy to head home, eat the dinner I prepped on Sunday and teach yoga, I realized I felt light. Ready to take on whatever came. I felt able to do all the things required of me. Without second guessing or questioning myself. That voice was gone yesterday. It was just me realizing that whatever I do, however it turns out, I know I have acted from a place of love and honesty. And my efforts deserve recognition from me. I am not...Thank you...
