Today has been one of the tougher days i have had since starting this journey of sobriety. It was the last day of work before the Easter long weekend started, my first long weekend since stopping drinking, it was also the first game of the season for the AFL,(Ausie Rules Football) two things i loved to mix, Weekends, specially lonnngggg weekends and footy! All day the thought of drinking was there, i kept taking breaks from my work and doing push ups and taking small walks, but i could not shake it.
I couldn't shake the thought, but that i can live with, because I realized something today, i realized that is all it is, just a thought, a thought that i can control a thought that i can chose to act on or chose to ignore. 2 months ago i didn't stand a chance against these thoughts, these thoughts controlled me, these thoughts won and i drank every time they entered my head. But not today, today they did not, i won today and it feels great.
I have no illusion that this will be my last battle, but i can take confidence knowing i faced it and i won.
Every day is a new day, a day of Thought, a day of Choices and a day of Actions.
Think Clearly, Choose Wisely and then Act Freely!
