It's cold here. It snowed a bit last night. My family has been requesting hot chocolate and popcorn recently. I find myself desiring warm comfy food that I can curl up with.
Winter time abstinence is new to me. It's yet another growth period. I don't like it, but I know that my program will be stronger from it.
I'm drinking a lot of coffee with a touch of milk and splenda. So far it's helping a lot.
What I really want to do is bake a batch of Christmas cookies and then crawl into bed with them. But I'm not going to. I'm writing here. I read last night and this morning. I called my sponsor. I wrapped Christmas presents. I finished reading a Christmas novel. I went to my meeting last night. I'm abstinent and free... kinda hoping for the joyous part to kick in sometime today.
I'm staying busy, staying out of bed, and staying on program.
