Hi,
I just need to quit drinking (forever) and replace it with constructive, uplifting stuff like meditation, spiritual reading, yoga, borderline manual course, and reconnecting to a real-life community.
I always get upset on one level or another when I drink. It's no fun at all. I told my daughter that part of my wedding gift to her would be to stop drinking (that means for good) Of course, I'll need to work at it. Church, small groups, even AA possibly. My mother once traded my sister and me (I was about six years old) for a six-pack so I wonder whether my promise will hold up.
Of course, what I really want to do is get to the point where I can get into some yoga classes and meet my yoga soulmate. I think I'm going backwards spiritually with goals like that, be that's where I'm at right now.
How my view may change after a few weeks, months of sobriety. That's why they say don't relocate, get into a relationship, or do anything major in the first year of sobriety.
Anyway, I'm trying to quit this site along with a few other habits. I've done everything I can do to shame myself into leaving. I make half-baked attempts to get myself blocked. I embarrass myself, tork others off, and just seem to bury myself even further.
