Habits & housekeeping

    Happy sober Sunday!!  I'm happy to be away from the Super Bowl crazy - euphemism for guzzlefest.  Not missing any of THAT.  

They say habits take three weeks to make and to break.  Not sure if that is 100% universal but it has some merit.  I'm close to a month of not drinking and it got a lot more habitual 2-3 weeks out to just pour a tonic or Pellegrino without thinking about it.  And I've been able to lay off the choco almonds a bit too (not altogether, no ma'am!).  And when I started drinking after long term sobriety, it took about three weeks to get all the way back to where I'd left off. So there may be a kernel of truth in that 3 week theory.  One thing that's absolutely true is that it gets exponentially easier to not drink each day that I don't.  I'm grateful for that and hope to avoid any more day 1s   Because that 2-3 weeks is not fun enough to learn what I already know:  there's no 2 glasses for me.  One's too many and will never be enough.  So none is best and keeps me happy and healthy.  I like that.  

On to housekeeping.  I started this blog with zero knowledge of blogging besides my extensive lurking history.  Turns out Blogger is kind of a clunker, who knew?  Some folks - a couplewhose blogs I am following -have emailed me to say they can't comment or have trouble getting to my blog.  When I get really ambitious and motivated, I may look into switching platforms.   Seems a bit daunting.  In the meantime, I wonder if it would help to start in the blog by just going to www.sobrietyrising.blogspot.com?  I don't know and I am regretful that I didn't start on Wordpress, but I love getting comments and communicating with my sober sisters.  So i hope  maybe this helps.  

 I don't have much else interesting to say tonight, except that I am so happy to be sober tonight, even with the world's worst head cold and the rest of the hood getting super bowl snockered!  I am not missing out on ANYTHING but I am experiencing everything.  

With a clear head and no hangover on the horizon.  

Be good to you!

Hugs,
