Abstinance is the Best Policy

Really been struggling today with the whole sobriety thing, but have been able to ward off the alcohol demons so far. It's really weird that the relapse can happen in the blink of an eye and when least expected. I will have to guard against "stinking" thinking and know when I become vulnerable to the temptation.  On a more positive note,  I talked with my recruiter today and all set to get started on the 7th. I'm really looking forward to getting back to work and making the dollars! Selling my Blazer to live off the money while I'm in training and have a guy coming by in a little bit to take a test drive. He came by yesterday and looked at it, but couldn't drive it until today. Hopefully, he will love it as much as I have and put some cash in my hand :) The in-laws have bought a new car and are "giving" the wife their old one. It would really be a blessing  if we could at least  sell one of them soon. Anyway, I've been alcohol free for 7 days and know I can't drink  today  either.  I'm hoping  it gets  easier as time goes by.  Until  next time,  stop by and check out my new articles on addiction at My Addicted Mind.Com and if you need to locate an AA meeting in the Akron, OH area, check this link - www.akronaa.org - for meetings and times. Thanks.
