When I blogged about the time I was arrested 10 years ago, I didn’t share that September is Recovery Month. I had NO idea this was even a thing until a few weeks ago. I wanted to share a few thoughts on an important day 2 years ago today.

Two years ago:
– I was drinking my very last drink…er….5 drinks.
– I was watching a show, which I would have to watch again the next day because I was so intoxicated I didn’t remember everything.
– I thought I needed to drink to have fun/escape/forget.

Two years ago tomorrow:
– Was the last time I would wake up hungover.
– Was the time I FINALLY took my alcoholism seriously, admit I really did have a problem and accept that I could never drink again.
– I experienced the start of one of the biggest transformations of my life. I am SO thankful God completely changed my heart with drinking. When people ask about how I stopped, it was all God. He put the desire to stop drinking in my heart, He gave me the strength to not drink again, He continually gives me strength to say no.

Day 2634 – Don’t Be Sad Over Spilled….Chocolate?

A few days ago, I was a little sad. Bret had just arrived home and I was telling him about my day and how I was sad. I had rallied and was a little less blue when he got home. We then remembered we had some chocolate treats. As I pulled out the tray, he said “I hope you don’t have any more reasons to be sad.”

While he was saying that and I was pulling out the tray….I realized the tray was upside down….and there were now chocolates on the floor. We laughed SO hard as this happened!
