Just like any other day...

Woke up at a descent hour today. Which is unusual because I am a night owl and usually up all night and sleep all day...but these last few days I have been going to bed early and waking up early. It's a nice change. Anyways today is Thursday and its the one week marker till I celebrate 2 years of sobriety/clean time. Technically I have been sober for 4 years (July of 2007) however I had chose to do other things (smoked on joint and popped pills for a month) A large part of me did not want to change my clean date, but I figure its just a date, it wouldn't  change the what I had learnt since that date, I would just have a new one. I had thought to my self hey I am not in N.A so what the big deal, I didn't drink so why should I have to change it. I'll tell you why because this is a HONEST program, this is what my new life is all about and if I start to build it on lies then I would surely be heading for trouble. I am a woman of integrity now. I don't lie about stupid shit, there are consequences to my actions. I knew that when I decided to smoke a joint or pop a pill. And in the long run both experiences tought me that doing that stuff was no longer something that I was interested in anymore. I like having a clean mind and conscience. I no longer have to keep track of my lies because there are non. Also once I had opened up about what I had done I found that my experiences had helped others to, other people herd me speak and told me that they too where thinking about doing what I did, but after hearing what I had to say about it and how it made me feel. They had come to the conclusion that it was not longer something that they wanted to do! I had turned a negative into a positive, and by being honest with myself and other I taught the people closest around me that I can be trusted to tell the truth should I make another mistake (of which I am sure I will make cause I am only human, I'm not some super human being just because I decided not to drink anymore, though I'd like to think that sometimes, and not to imply that I have future plans of trying other drugs or whatever)  So thats it for now ttul :P
