I guess I'm not used to being happy.
So what's changed?
Basically, three things, in this order :
- I stopped drinking
- I started to pray each evening
- I got a new job
Seems to me that if I carry on doing the first two, and enjoying the third, I can relax and get used to being happy.
That sounds like a good and simple plan for 2007: don't drink: pray, work hard and be happy. Let's see how that works or if I manage to sabotage it somehow. I'm usually so good at sabotage but this time I think I can make it.

ahhh it sounds like you are really starting to get the "one day at a time" message...have a great THURSDAY.
That ought to do it, one day at a time. Good for you on your first step.
Greeting from Malaysia.
Okay, I will admit it, I am not known for my subtlety...
Go to an AA meeting!
Good girl! #1 and #2 pave the way for me too. So pleased you're doing well!
great going! keep on doing what u doing, it's working!!!!
I am soo glad the new job is going well..
just remember nothing is perfect... I too am enjoying everything at my new job.. and I know it will change.. and when it does, I have choices.. working the program, like, going to meetings, talking to my sponsor, praying, daily inventory. I know for me when I do these things, I can get through the rough spots.
I dont drink no matter what, job or no job, husband or no husband, home or no home... no matter what, and what helps me if I loose those things, if the program of alcoholics anonymous. I am so grateful.
have a super good day
One day at a time.
I'm with you.
2007 looks the same for me, on all three counts, you're just a few steps ahead of me.
God bless you
If you read a few posts back on Mary Christine's blog you will see a reference to "old crusty men"
She can be an "old crusty woman", a sweet, loving, caring, sober, godly old crusty woman, but she is right. If you want to experience the love and fellowship of people in the same boat as you, people with a solution, get to an AA meeting.
I stumbled on your blog from Shadow's, and can identify with the rum and diet coke. My drink of choice, heavy on the rum, light on the coke, perhaps with a squeeze of lime... hmmmm mmmm.
It has been just over 21 months since my last drink, but I cannot imagine going back there, because to me, to drink is to drink a lot. A helluva lot.
Anyway, I am going off on tangents.
Thank you very much for sharing your sobriety and gratitude with us.
Good for you, I am dying here at my job today. My boss just asked me to do some work, which is a total waist of our time. Oh well. Maybe I will get that elusive job offer which may open the ways to happier days 8-5...
Great post! Thanks for sharing!
