Ahhhhh...I have to say I feel much better than yesterday. After a very silent morning, John and I finally talked in the afternoon and both got a few things out and it really helped. By the end of the talk we were both smiling and that was really wonderful!
So, onward we march! Remembering the advice of Thich Nhat Hanh (Zen Master, Author, Human Rights Activist), to start each day, the moment you wake up, with a smile on your face no matter what-that is exactly what I did today-and it wasn't a forced smile.
I know that there will be some down times for both of us in the coming days/weeks, but I KNOW that I will never drink again and I feel really good about it. I feel it deep inside at my very core! Since "coming out" with my problem, I have done heaps of research and talked to many other people in a similar boat that have now or in the past dealt with alcohol or substance abuse and it's gratifying to know so many people have had the strength to stop for good. I know I can too-I am determined. I love my fitness and health-and I plan to keep fit and healthy for a very long time. I am more determined than ever to truly be the fit person that I have portrayed myself to be.

This morning is cardio so jog with the dog and I can already feel an awesome jog coming on! I will meditate this morning after the jog. I plan to do some work on the property since I haven't done that for over a week now. I plan to do some more reading and research-this has become part of my daily routine and is quite necessary to stay vigilant and on track. I will not drink.
Have a fabulous weekend!

I pray that your success with willing yourself not to drink, will show people like me, that it CAN be done on sheer will power, and activities.
Stay with it, girl! Peeps out here are rooting for ya.

Re-building trust takes time, but you'll both get there.
It sounds like you are in a much better place today! With the continued love and support of your family and friends, and your positive attitude, I know you can get beat this! :)
Good for you Raechelle, I am glad the tension is lessening between you two. You can do anything you set your mind to, I have no doubt you can do this! *hugs*
Hey Raechelle
You're one very determined person, and I have no doubt you will overcome this, as you'll approach it like any other problem.
Nice to hear you're smiling again too! I will miss you while away, but I look forward to catching up on your progression upon my return. Take care!
