Lulu, thank you for your post. I am 13 days sober and realizing how my drinking has taken its toll! I am allowing myself to get as comfortable as I can in my own skin and now dealing with the emotional part, trying not to beat myself up over it. I have started AA meetings and for me, it is helping quite alot. One day at a time, I am certainly not up to "warp speed" yet but I have more than hope, purpose, that this is the plan for me, for I am powerless and that is freeing. Welcome and continued success!
