So tomorrow I will be 23 years sober. It is 23 years today since my last drink, but I celebrate the anniversary of my first day of sobriety which was July 24, 1984. I hope you will all stop by tomorrow for the festivities.
Today I am struggling again with lethargy. I need to get out and run and I don't feel like it. This is SO out of character for me. I really wonder what is going on. I have felt this way for almost a week. I WILL get out and run, in spite of my (hopefully temporary) lack of desire and passion for it. My triathlon is less than 2 weeks away.
I am tired and uninspired, so I will just put on my running shoes and get out of here. Have a great sober Monday everyone.

Is this when we fake it til we make it?
OK...I have the 24th marked on my calendar from some previous post you wrote, but I thought Daave said it was today..well then Happy last day of the 23rd year. Ya know EVERYONE says that the 24th year is the VERY best. All kinds of wonderful new things start happening....well that's the word on the street anyway.
We take our medicine even when we don't feel like it. We show up when we'd rather stay under the covers. We do what we are told works for others to stay sober.
Thanks for being part of my WE.
MC, so glad that you are so many years sober. Twenty-three today since your last drink is really something. I'm glad that you are here. Your lethargy is probably a high gear for others. Sometimes even the things that we love are needing a break.
