Saturday Night

I have this thing about immediate gratification. I am not very good at delayed gratification. It probably explains part of my spending problems. I could blame my parents but that would be blame shifting. I accept my responsibility for my actions. I am just not patient as I would like or should be. Hmm. Do you check the clock?

St. Patrick's Day/ back ache

Well, it is St. Patricks day and all the amateurs are out drinking. I don't remember actually any special celebrations on this day in my drinking past. I think my work schedule probably always interfered.

My back is out again. It gets really old just bending over to pick something up and it siezing up. It always takes at least a week to start getting better. I know I should lose some weight. I have started walking again.

My sobriety birthday today 11 years now!

Well, I have 11years of sobriety now. Hard to believe it. There was a time I couldn't imagine life without alcohol. Now, I can't imagine life drinking again. I still get the urges. Especially when bad things happen, like break ups. I promised myself almost ten years ago I wouldn't drink because of a woman. I still won't.

I was wondering what I did wrong recently. I realized I was just being who I am. It was external to me, the other person. I guess that makes it easier to understand.

I can't decide if I want cake or ice cream to celebrate today. For those who still drink, please hoist a beer for me.

Peace
