Hi All!
So I survived opening day sober... it was interesting to see through sober eyes. Everyone was not drunk like I used to believe. My husband randomly told people I wasn't drinking which made me feel weird but I think he was doing it because he was proud, so I just let it go. I'm kinda getting used to that awkward moment after you tell someone who is drinking you don't drink. I even was able to loosen up and get a little silly. I'm finding it takes me a while to get comfortable in social settings. I'm secure with being sober and awkward, sure beats being drunk and stupid!
I have been feeling very low energy and emotional in a good way. I'm thinking PAWS. Just trying to ride it through. I made some more coffee hoping it would help.
Still working on the internal stuff... Found a book that I can relate to- May Cause Miracles. So far it has talked about facing your fears and learning to replace the fear with love. Slowly retraining my brain. I wanted to share a realization I had the other day. Nothing in my life has changed except me not drinking and it is like I have the life I had always wanted when I was drinking. I was so caught up in drowning out everything I thought I didn't have that I didn't see I already had it. May just be pink cloud talk but it's good stuff��
Sunflower congrats on your 90 days! Good luck with the interview! You got this!!!
