#71 Thirsty Thursday

Good day and hello. Thank you for checking in at the blog today. I am sober here in Calgary tonight. A tornado touched down outside the city limits today. I have a cold.

I remember when I first quit drinking. In the first summer that I was sober, I caught a cold four times in a row. I was so depressed because of it. Here I was trying to remain sober, healthy and free, all I could do was be sick.

Nothing is worth getting drunk about. I know this. There were many times in the past that I went back to drinking. I never built up a good foundation for sobriety. I went back to drinking every time except for this. I take things one day at a time.

Still, I plan ahead and make short and long term goals. I take care of myself. I help others. All of these things help me to keep sober.

Yesterday, I felt like I was going to drink. I had been in a family meeting regarding some serious business. When I left there, I felt brought down low to the ground. Like a loser. I never bothered to get a drink. It would be silly of me to tempt that. I always choose not to drink. For that I am glad.

I released my third book the day before yesterday. There was a long delay between the first two and the third. I will continue to keep writing. I have two other manuscripts. They are not ready.

I was in another serious meeting this morning. I am getting into these serious situations because I would like to help people by my life and experience. Many people want this same goal.

Again, thank you for stopping into the blog. Feel free to check out my website too.
