hi there - I know what you mean. For me, the 'worst' bit about being sober is dealing with real life. You can no longer hide behind the drink and realise that, actually, whatever is going on in your life, is still going to be there! Thinking straight is a new experience for me, and I've felt pretty down about certain things in my life lately. But, and it's a big but, without the drink, you'll be so much better equipped to deal with it!

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and am on Anti-d's - probably for the rest of my life, but I am now, finally -der -, aware that actually the alcohol was a big part of that! It's like a big smoke screen has blown away. Yes, it's painful, yes, I sit and cry quite a lot but I know it's going to be ok!

Good luck

sas

DAY 28!!!
