Wow, this is the first time I have woken on a Sunday morning in years having not had a drink all weekend! I feel friggin awesome.

Just making this small step forward gives me so much confidence for carrying on. I have a massive challenge coming up tonight and tomorrow. I have a concert at a vineyard tonight (Hall & Oates and Icehouse) but I think thats going to be the easy one to get through. Tomorrow is the hard part. A whole day at Laneway music festival.

But after waking sober today I think I'm heading in the right direction. I really want to acheive my 12 months so I think I'm going to just keep that in the front of my mind as much as possible.

Tomorrow is also the day that I will be telling my wife about my HSM. I think she is wondering why I havent had a drink this weekend and she will probably think I have been body snatched tonight when I dont drink at the concert. Then just before we head to Laneway I'm going to let her know what I'm up to. I know that seeing me not drink before I tell her is going to mean so much more to her then me just saying I'm stopping after a big bender (again and again I have done this only to drink the next weekend). Also tomorrow will be the end of my first week sober, my first full week sober in many years and I feel great.
