I'm doing 36 things
i was able to continue with the sobriety. its been 2 days now. thing is that ive been having trouble sleeping. im hoping that its just psychological and that it will subside after a while. the weekend is coming up and normally i would be …. scared, for lack of better word. but now im confident though that i can stay sober. there are things that are more important than getting drunk and thats what i have to focus on.

i was still allowing to continue on the downward spiral until the other night. i was drinking with a few friends when my brother called up and said he was in the area so i told him to come join us. he ended up staying with me til like 2 am. i convinced him to stay even though i knew he had class the next day. the next day i realized that i cant allow this to happen. its not only affecting me, but im teaching my brother the wrong things. i cant let me fall into this trap. that was 2 nights ago. last night i didnt have a single sip of alcohol nor was i the least bit tempted. every time i came close to wanting a drink, thoughts of me destroying my brother’s life came into my mind. that quickly brought me back to reality. i cant be my brother’s keeper when im too damn drunk.
i got a good friend of mine and we made a deal …. we buddy up and share goals and what we need for support and things we have to do on a daily basis … we call each other and check each other out to make sure we’re on track … something has to happen … today is day 1 and so far it looks good …
