Day 13 - Its a beautiful day

It is sunny outside on this 18th day of February and I am 13 days sober.

I went to the gym yesterday, and even though my work out could have been longer it still helped me cope with any desire I may have had to drink. I went home with a good exhaustion and Mike and I (mostly Mike) made dinner. Though I may not be/have as much fun as I was/did when I was drinking, I can sit through a movie and remember it the next day AND I wake up feeling great.

There seems to be only one time of the day that the desire is the strongest and that is around 2pm in the afternoon when I am at work counting the minutes to leave. I associate drinking with certain things and getting past that is the hardest. I'm learning though that drinking may not be an addiction but more a bad habit. Someone recently told me to replace 1 bad habit with 2 good ones. Well, that seems realistic, right? Blogging is one of my good habits, and I guess I need to find another, but either way, I'm sober! One day at a time.....
