T.G.I.M.
Thank God It's Monday! Still having problems dealing with weekends. Not as bad as when I first quit drinking. But some weekends aren't so hot. This last Friday I went to bed at 10:00 so I didn't have to think about not drinking. Saturday we went out and it wasn't too bad. Yesterday wasn't great so I went to bed around 9 and watched movies. That helped. I actually look forward to weekdays. I get a lot more done and I don't dread sober evenings. Thanks for listening to my rant.

In the beginning, it's often "one minute at a time," rather than one day. That when meetings helped me the most, talking to and getting support from others who have been through it. I still carry some of those helpful suggestions around with me. One woman said that she's a member of the "no matter what club." I still think of that though it's been over 10 years for me. Hang in there - it does get easier, I promise. 
..That is what life is. But the good days are much better, and we think much clearer, and care about others in a stronger more caring way. Being sober saved my life, and I am grateful for that. I went to a meeting this morning and heard something that I had never heard before. And I have been going to meetings for over 30 years. I thought I had heard it all, but we never really know. All I really know, is that there is more to learn, if I allow myself to listen and learn. Listening carefully and totally might be the hardest part of going to a meeting. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it isn't. You never know what wisdom you might hear from someone that you had never heard wisdom before.
