I have 73 days sober and I started a blog-www.countingdays.org...but what I also do is stay in gratitude. I'm really grateful today, and when I'm grateful, I'm less likely to be irritable because I'm more focused on being of service...and gratitude is an action word, by the way...fake it till you make it!<br /><br />Elizabeth<br />www.countingdays.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179396338033153826.post-53209603990991767722011-01-10T18:03:12.584-06:002011-01-10T18:03:12.584-06:00I do what I can with the goal for the day, not ove...I do what I can with the goal for the day, not overloading myself with too much. I realize that First Things First is an important slogan. I realize that very few things are so important that they have to be done right now. I practice patience because in the past I have been impatient and good at multi-tasking. Now I realize that I need to practice self-care and not overload myself.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179396338033153826.post-49661073201844948162011-01-10T16:10:26.054-06:002011-01-10T16:10:26.054-06:00I do this a lot too! I find myself going in so man...I do this a lot too! I find myself going in so many directions that burn out is always just around the corner. But you realize it, and that is the important thing. I was expecting my life to slow down, to become serene and tranquil with sobriety. Not so! In fact I think my life is more busy and chaotic than ever before. It's the season of life we are in. Small children, husband's, obligations, recovering, etc. but I finally realized one day that God had given me the serenity I had asked for. I was surviving, and I wasn't drinking. I was right in the middle of the hurricane and my soul was peaceful and I was making it. That is serenity, when the soul is peaceful even in the midst of chaos. You already know the answer: keep the foundation strong, and your "house" will not fall ;)drybottomgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702877045042502693noreply@blogger.com
