The biggest take home from yesterday is that when I put forth effort, things tend to go right. I need to keep this in mind for when I put forth effort and things do not. Yesterday was a great day overall. I focused on all of the most important things, and the few things I didn’t get done, really don’t matter.
Today my focus will be on finishing up the few things I didn’t get done yesterday, doing a little more research on the shoulder, doing my rehab, do some brain storming on productivity / creation, and maybe taking it a little easy … watch something funny or play a video game. I don’t want to fall back into a rut, but I already fought some pretty strong deamons this morning. I did just waste an hour on mindless internet surfing, but I also didn’t go to the liquor store, so I’ll call it a win.
I have to keep reminding myself of my last drink. The horrible burning from my throat all the way through my intestines. The revulsion. The desperation to pass out and inability to do so after a 2 -3 day bender with a little under ¾ a gallon of whiskey. It was a self-induced physical and emotional nightmare.
If I simply manage to fight that demon today, I’ll have to accept that.
