Day11
This is going to be a quickie. We all have things we'd rather be doing on a Sunday than read my blog. Sunday is for new beginnings and it is a new beginning for me. I have made the decision that the only route left for me to take is total and permanent abstinence from alcohol. I joined a new message board this last week, Women for Sobriety but I'll admit I still wasn't convinced. Then someone responded to my introductory post that she got exhausted thinking about all of my Day 1's, Day 10,s Day 19's.... so I went back and read back over my blog this last year. Come on, who was I fooling? Only myself. Was one more stab at moderation going to be the ticket? I don't know, I never will. I just don't want to waste any more of my life on any more "one more times". As Andy Dufrain said in the movie Shawshank Redemption, "It's time to get busy living or get busy dying." I know which one I'm choosing. I may stumble a long the way but I won't be attempting moderation again, it's a done deal.
I have heard from several people that they are starting their individual journeys today. Whether that be moderation or permanent abstinence, you have my best wishes. Just remember, if you fall get, back up, if you stray down a wrong path, turn around, if there's a boulder blocking your way, go around it, climb over it or tunnel under it, and listen to your internal GPS, it knows where you need to go.
Safe Travels, my friends.
So today I'm out there doing my best to travel light and leave the burden of alcohol by the wayside.
