Thirty Day Sobriety Challenge - Day 30
Watch as my life spirals into control
Yep … Day Thirty! It's a bit anticlimactic though considering that there is actually a thirty first day now. Still it seemed fitting that I take the day off from work to relax and reflect. It was a remarkably difficult month. More than I thought it would be.
OK I admit it … I miss going out and having a few drinks. The truth is I never considered that I had a problem drinking. In fact I quite enjoy it. However there is no denying the negative effect such a lifestyle can have on a man’s body. But as I've said all along, this was more about control than it was about the booze. I needed to do something to kick my ass into shape.
This exercise in alcohol abstinence helped open my eyes to all the other things I need to change nad that I actually have the ability to do it. It's a good feeling.
So yes I am back off the wagon after another day, but I’ll be there with a new lease on life. Actually not 'new' … more like 'renewed'.
