Today is the 6 year anniversary of my mom's death. Well for about another hour and a half. And I made it through! I didn't once crave a drink, when every other Sept 15 since she died, I've gotten drunk. I had the day off of work but even being home didn't drive me crazy! I had begun second guessing my choice to take today and tomorrow off, but good thing I did because now I'm sick! But I have time off to get better. I went to a meeting and then out to eat with my friend. I even had to deal with a dissapointment in a friend who said she'd be there for me today. All without drinking or even wanting to! And I wasn't even depressed! Just nice and emotionally balanced! What an amazing gift of the program. Just had to share. =)
