Easy street. Of course not drinking has always been easy for me on week days. So 17 days has been easy so far. It's the weekends and especially a boring Saturday that challenge me. But I am feeling great right now and do not foresee any problems. I bought myself a movie ticket for 4pm matinee Saturday. I'm gonna bring my own candy but I will treat myself to popcorn.
So here is what has been happening since I made my decision to quit drinking. I saw this documentary last week and suddenly decided to move toward vegeterian. I have always been heading that way but now I can make decisions for myself and STICK to them. I am saying "moving toward" instead of making declarations. 1. I love meat so I need to do this slowly. I do know how bad the meat we have available to us now is bad, as well as dairy. I'm getting there. 2. I do have some good meat in the freezer, I don't want to waste. Sad excuse I know.
Also, I have been listening to minimalist podcasts. I've already been practicing for a while but getting more tips. As a result of that I found frugal financial podcasts and Dave Ramsey podcasts and I just finished creating my debt spreadsheet. I'm going to pay down all my credit cards. And once those are paid off the $ I used for the cards I will put extra on my truck. Once my truck is paid off I want to retire. I don't have a lot of debt. I do have a bunch of credit cards but i'm not over extended or in high numbers. Highest balance (not counting Pottery Barn) is 1500$
I feel renewed. I am repairing many areas of my personal life. Wait maybe repair isn't the best word. Enhancing. I am enhancing an already good life that I have. I just had a revelation writing this. My life is awesome. It is happy, it's just when I drink on the weekends is when it gets dark and distorted. I can do this.
