5 months and not drinking tomorrow
i try to write these things with the person who may be about to give up drinking and is wondering what to expect in mind
month one ,tired lonely ,a bit depressed and a bit of anxiety
month two...starting to fell better but still lonely
month three ,i found out my daughter was HIV+ and had a totally sober dreadful holiday
month four,my birthday i got through it sober,my daughter flies in we have a second HIV test and she is clear
month 5,break with partner of 13 years ,my daughter has to go back to the states and will probably go to an army jail
do you guys think i would of coped at all if i had been drinking
so here i'm at nearly 50 with a blank canvas and a new life ahead of me
a life i surely could not of seen or embraced had i been drinking ,i'm healthy for the first time in years and when my daughter gets back i will be able to help her start her life in earnest
my life may be a blank canvass but i'm able to paint a work of art or a masterpiece upon it ,and its all because i stopped drinking,most people get to my age and are starting to think of life nearly being over yet here i am thinking clearly and my new sober life is just begining i am that positive and happy about it,through the wreckage i will build a new life its gona be tough and there will be a few tears here and there but i'm up or the challenge
