Yeah, there still is temptation...but to dscover that day-by-day and month-by-month change and perseverance actually totes up and starts some switched thinking in our brains.....well, that is just too terrific, I think!Northwoman1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/09855277712359787495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-16618196447301592882016-09-01T14:38:11.170-07:002016-09-01T14:38:11.170-07:00I'm here in bed munching on a piece of 85% dar...I'm here in bed munching on a piece of 85% dark chocolate (other percentages are available) thinking over the paradox presented by having sober fun vice getting wasted night after night. I am two weeks into my holiday and before now, I would have been drunk every night. Every other morning (just about), I have run 3-4 miles before breakfast. I'm down more than 12KG and none of my clothes fit - you could get the dog in my jeans with me - not quite, she has a 17ins waist but there is space. Yet I still feel a physical yearning when I drive past the local pub but the paradox is that the logical me doesn't want to drink. Is this some echo that will haunt me for awhile yet? I don't plan to drink in September so I'm with the rest of you strivers for sobriety and thanks to SM for her patient guidance 9it will be 8 months on Saturday). I might need a bit of patience myself tomorrow as we're taking the nephews kayaking!!! When does school start?<br /><br />JustonemoreJustonemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660105307364281743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-33614187782206791752016-09-01T14:33:39.543-07:002016-09-01T14:33:39.543-07:00Agree with all the above.
