#58 Thirsty Thursday

Hi there! Since I quit writing the Sober Sunday it seems like a long time between posts. What's new?

For me, I'm on a fitness kick. There's a huge party at the end of February that I'm looking forward to. I want to look nice for that party. I lost forty-five pounds over the past three years. Well, it's time for me to fit into my skin. Ha! I was kind of exercising before so right now all I need to do is be serious about it, like me and exercising are in love.

What else? I am quitting doing everything that I don't feel like doing anymore. Conversely, I am going to start or keep on doing only the projects and activities which I want to. This actually includes watching TV. The reason why I am doing this is because I am bored sometimes doing certain activities. This surprises me because I thought that life would become more interesting after I sobered up. Life is definitely different than it was before. This is to be expected.

When I first sobered up, I started doing some different groups to see what was out there and meeting some people. I was lonely and thought that it would be fun to meet some people and get to know them. I feel differently now.

To be sure, I didn't have to do anything to begin with. I was an alcoholic for somewhere around twenty years. I entertained myself by drinking. When I was a practicing drunk, I used to look at the lives of others and feel like I was missing out on something. I always thought that I would sober up one day and see what it was all about. So I did that.

Thank you for reading.
