The same great friend that sent me the wonderful article on friendship I posted back in February sent me another wonderful piece about alcohol.
Recently I hit rock bottom with my drinking habit. One horrible night, I am completely embarrassed about made me turn a 180. I have given drinking up completely. A lot of people wrote off my comment as a joke. They would say "Oh, you will drink again. It was just bad night."
This past incident was more to me than just a bad night. It wasn't until I spoke with my sister that I was resolute in my decision not to drink. She told me, "It's not that I will never drink again. I just need to find the balance. Right now I just don't know when to stop or how to limit myself."
That couldn't ring truer in my case. I had become out of control and it's time to find my way back to a normal, balance way of social drinking.

The Happiness Project is back on! It was never really over, but I did take somewhat of a hiatus. I have kind of lost myself in this past year and it's time to start making some adult life changes and choices.
I look back on what I wrote a year ago; my want for this project:
I want to cut out the negative, the clutter, the nagging, the past regrets. I want to build everlasting friendships. I want to create greater bond with my husband. I want to build home that is peaceful, relaxing, an escape from the everyday world. I want to become closer with my family and be a person they are proud of. I want to learn to accept myself for who I am and start enjoying the quirkiness that is me.
I failed at the want this past year, but I will not give up. I want to use the events, experiences, and emotions to become a happier, healthier me.
