Stopping the Whiskey

When I got home last night, I decided to do something different. I didn't turn on the TV, or walk into the kitchen to have anything to drink. I just sat down on the couch to talk to Lisa for a bit, I'll admit I was a bit depressed or down most of the evening, because I so badly wanted some whiskey to help shake off the day... but either way I'm simply trying to do new things that will bring peace into the house. Lisa feels that the only time I should drink is during an "event" (i.e. Holiday or Celebrations), and that drinking just to relax from the day isn't good for me. She spent most of the night trying to shake me out of my sadness that I couldn't drink, and she felt that I was upset with her for making me feel bad on Sunday. But I don't have time to be upset with Lisa or anyone else right now, its a waste of energy being upset all the time. And I don't have the energy to spend it on other people's emotions who aren't working to contribute to my life.

But back to my drinking problem, my goal is make it to 21 days, and along the way to replace that habit of drinking everyday with a new habit. I'm still working on what to replace it with, I want to replace it with weight lifting, but I need something more then going to the gym to motivate me to get into the shape that I need. I've been wanting to go back into Paint balling and Music... both require me to be in good shape.
