14 Days!

Celebrate the small victories, don't worry about what tomorrow may be, and thank God for the fact that He gave you today to live. Right now, that is how I am having to live my life. Celebrating the small victories. 

I am 14 days sober today. 14 days. Two weeks. I am so close to my half way point to my 30 day sober chip and I want to jump up and down and clap! I haven't had an urge to take a drink in three days now. I'm still dealing with some residual withdrawal symptoms. Mainly shaking and stuttering, but mentally I am in a much better place. Oh, I forgot the sweats. Yeah, I sweat...for sure. Worse than any hot flash ever hit me. My body is finally filtering out the toxins I ingested. Yay!

We went to the gym today to workout. Pat, Brit and I. It was like pulling teeth to get Brit to go, but she did go and that is all that really matters. We got her out of the house, away from the television and made her physically move her body. I am going to go talk to my Yoga instructor and see if there is something we can work out temporarily payment wise so that I can continue to do that because it was seriously helping. Brit also wants to try Zumba, so maybe her and I can plan on just doing one drop in class at some point and try it, see if we like it and then we can go from there. I did okay with my knee today at the gym without the brace, but I paid for it later with residual deep pain and ache in the middle of my knee. I did no jogging though! Tomorrow, I'll start out with a 15 minute cardio warm up and then spend more time concentrating on strength training and then I'll finish off with 15 minutes on the stationary bike. I won't be alone though, I will be meeting a couple of the women in my group there so we can work out together. Afterwards, we'll shower at the gym and then head over to our meeting. 

I also learned tonight that I can bring my dogs to the meetings! I was so excited because it means I can take Tiberius with me from time to time. It will give him some alone time with just momma and away from his brother and sister, who seem to be getting on his nerves a little bit lately. Anyway...how awesome is it that you can bring your dog to an A.A. meeting??? 

Okay, for now, I am a little tired. My medicine is starting to kick in and I am going to have a small snack, some tea and then call it a night. 

 Good night and God bless you all!
