I think I'm doing a very good job of reaching my goals. I've made lists, even, and find that I'm checking things off quicker than I had originally thought.
Six months ago I started by eliminating boys - that was a hard fight. A few months ago I stopped drinking hard liquor and smoking. Yesterday I quit drinking altogether. I should make a side note that I also quit eating gluten and sugar, which eliminated beer from my diet - the last alcohol I allowed myself.
I have one more giant step in eliminating my vices, but that one will be the big one. I don't take Prozac, and will probably forever refuse to do so again, but I don't know if I can handle the last step on my own. We'll see.
So, now that I'm dwindling in vices, I'm able to replace them with GOOD things. Better habits, and possibly best practices. I'm cleaner at home, which is a huge positive to being sober. I sleep better, and can think more clearly. I'm trying to meditate, but my attention span just isn't there yet. I'm reading more, which is checking off another thing on my list. And I'm trying to spend my money on culture - concert tickets and museums. I'm biking more, and have set up a biking group. I'm trying to listen more... but that's a struggle, too. I still haven't made a budget - but I'm in the black, so at least I have that.
I might be myself sooner than I thought.
