Good for you Noba!! You did great and I'm proud of you! You're doing fantastic!
I'm feeling very good about the sober me these days. I also am able to talk sense to myself if the beast raises its arguments. I know what it will do to me and I'm not having any of it! Tomorrow (in two hours) I'll be starting my 37th day sober and just very excited that I'm finally learning how to live sober and not drown everything in wine. I'm learning that I like myself a lot better sober and I am trusting my own judgement again. Life is looking up these days. I still have all the same problems but am dealing with them sober and clear-headed.
Last year I couldn't imagine myself sober, now I can't imagine myself drunk or getting drunk. I can help take my girl to college and don't have to worry about how I act or how I'll drive home. I can stick to worrying about 'normal' stuff and not get nervous if a cop car is behind me.
You all are making my sober journey more rewarding than if I were travelling alone. Thank you all for being here. It means more than I can say!
