August 9th - another Day 2

If at first you do not succeed, try, try again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  I hate alcohol, I really do.

Anyway, here I go.  This time I signed up for the 100 Day Challenge (thanks again to Belle at TiredofThinkingAboutDrinking.com).  This time I am listening to PodCasts and this time I am reading the comments of others as they pick their Day 1 too.  And I am not the only one starting over, which is heartening.

Also, a person close to me was in a motorcycle accident on the way to work this morning, and he is more ok than I would have hoped.  And that makes me really grateful.  And so today's sobriety is to celebrate this latest turn, a broken wrist is nothing compared to what could have been.  We are lucky to be here, and I would like to actually be here, rather than wherever I go when Captain Morgan is driving my little ship.

The Cap'n is not my friend, the Cap'n doesn't care about me - he is the worst boyfriend I have ever had.  (And I've had some doozies.)

So hello from day 2, already doing better than I was on day 1 - see how quickly that momentum builds?  I am rooting for all of us out there fighting off our own worst enemies.  We got this.  :)
