stop drinking (read all 5 entries…)
Baby steps 2 weeks ago

I beginning to think of my goals in terms of small, minute, tiny baby steps instead of these mad drastic extreme life altering crazy sweeping decisions.
I am the worst for doing this…I go on the most extreme diets, extreme fitness regimes, extreme work binges and all the time other people just putter around and end up getting more done consistently. I’m going to take small steps instead of big ones with regard to work and fitness etc. The smaller the better as long as its in the right direction.

As for drinking, I need to stop seeing it in such black and white terms. I know I need to quit, but I also need to acknowledge that this is not simply a decision. It is a process that takes time and again small , manageable steps. Even if it means taking “one day at a time” so be it. I don’t necessarily like living my life like that, but its fine for now because eventually all these small steps cascade into something much larger.

For today at least I’m taking it easy.

Good luck

Way to go...

Great realizations. After all, it isn’t about worrying about all the drinks you will have to avoid for the rest of your life…it is all about just worrying about that first drink, and never EVER succumbing to that one. One day at a time, as you said. :)

You have a great attitude about it! You seem open and honest about what you’re trying to accomplish and you abilities. You’re almost there already!
