Month 2 away from alcohol

An interesting week for me, into my second month without booze and I feel great...so alive!

Had an appointment with my alcohol and drugs counsellor and was told that They didn't need to see me anymore as I have made months of progress in such a short time. My counsellor also suggested I get into the counselling profession as my experience of dealing with my alcoholism may be of great help to other people.

I like the idea of helping other people, alcoholism is a nightmare, I was really lucky I managed to quit when I did before I went down the road of losing everything.

I feel so much more confident now, if you were to ask me four weeks ago could I imagine feeling so positive and able to cope...I would have laughed or at the very least thought you were crazy!

I've joined a local Aikido class and although I feel like a right clumsy prat next to the other students, I can see I will derive some great benefits from it's teachings.

I've just got to give up smoking now, shave my head, become vegetarian and go on a journey of self exploration...yeah right!

Changing negative behavioral patterns is cool though, it's like getting to meet a new and better you and it's very cathartic.

Anyways gotta go

Rob
