How dumb can I be?

I'm 2 days sober, again, and already I can feel a shift in my countenance. It's stunning, really, that this I've tolerated low grade depression all these months since I returned to drinking (with all the best intentions) last fall. I've never been good at math, but the equation is simple: daily cocktails = low-grade depression for me.
And you know, it took my husband pointing out my obviously unhappiness with my life for me to pinpoint the source. I don't think he understands that it's about the alcohol we consume daily. But I know.
I understand that the cornerstone to my health and happiness is sobriety. I refuse to walk around with a self-induced cloud over my head anymore. I'm nervous, excited, scared, and relieved to be at this point in my life.
Today I will not drink.

Good for you!!! This site has helped me a lot, and just like you, drinking made me miserable, depressed and simply not myself. Is your husband willing to stop drinking, or at least drinking around you?
