Hello again, dvdb.

Thanks for your input and comment.

Whether I am right or not about the loss of the "empty feelings" or not doesn't really matter too much - the great sense of well-being I am having right now from being sober speaks volumes all on it's own.

It just feels right!

Be well and take care,

David.

Hey, everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed their day! I had an alright day. Rained most of the day here in Toronto, so a lot of my time was spent indoors. I did manage to have a good long walk with my dog this evening though.

I am not a religious person at all, really. Never have been. But, I have always been what I consider to be a very spiritual person. Recently, while trying to come to terms with my out-of-control drinking I have found myself feeling a little empty - like there has been something missing in my life. Something missing which I have been trying to replace with the alcohol.

Now that I no longer am wanting to have alcohol as part of my life this emptiness which I have experienced is being filled with something else slowly over time.

I can think of no other way to describe this feeling other than it being the feeling of goodness which is filling the void left by the alcohol. It's not something I expected, it's not something I planned for, but it is something that I like very much. It feels great to feel this emptiness being filled with something so wholesome; so natural-feeling; so belonging.

If this is what it feels like to be sober all the time - I want more.

If this goodness I feel is a "Higher Power" I want more.

If this goodness I feel is God - I want more!

Be well,

David.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

How was your day David? I hope it's been a good one. Mine was pretty decent... did a lot of studying, went for a walk, got frozen yogourt, watched some stand up comedy for a laugh. I live in a university town so was trying to be healthy by going for a walk but all the students just moved back in for the beginning of the school year so everyone was out downtown partying and people who were having house parties. It was frustrating/tempting and made me want to drink or at least be able to think about drinking on the weekend but then I had to say no to myself. It was a little tough.

I'll grab ahold of your hand, David. Let's have a great sober day together. You'll be in my thoughts and I'll check back periodically throughout the day to see how you're doing.

Good morning AHC.

My goal is to abstain from alcohol today.

I extend my hand out to another member in the hopes that they will grab hold of it, and that as one we can pull together, becoming stronger, helping each other to fulfill our hopes and desires to recover from our alcohol abuse.

Be well,

David.

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference.
