4.7.25
Today was pretty average. Another Monday I get to be sober and grateful for it when I lay my head down on my pillow tonight.
Work was at a steady pace, and I was able to fit in some time for my continuing education classes. Bonus points for not having a burning desire to hurt anyone, that’s always a plus. I had book club tonight and got to spend time with friends and make new ones. I loved the book and hearing the opinions and thoughts of women who are at all different stages in their recovery. When I reach steps 6 and 7, I will read the book again and I’m sure it will have new meanings for me. I’m taking the next month off from book club so I can focus on completing my work certification. I’ve already read the book they picked so I’ll probably crash their Cinco de Mayo party anyway.
I can’t help feeling proud of myself because tomorrow is my 5-month sober birthday. I never imagined I could make it this far existing as anything other than an angry, bitter, dry drunk. Actively participating in my recovery has been the greatest gift I have given myself. Without making the decision to change my life, I would not have the people I love and our relationships.
I’ll happily take another sober day, even if they are all just another Monday.
