YAY BRENT! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Reading your post really made my day! Thank you.
Admitting to others you have a problem is the first step my friend!
As for me, my weekend out in the woods was amazing. The weather was gorgeous--sunny, and it actually reached 56 degrees--for November that is almost unheard of here!
Sooooo nice to be out there with hubby--so relaxing without the kids, lol! We did a lot of hiking, and lots of relaxing around the campfire. I even got in a little bit of fishing (donated at least 5 hooks to the snags, and not a single bite, but so beautiful down there by the river...)
I really didn't want to come home yesterday.
How different and wonderful to wake up sober with no hangover, and NOT need to have a drink first thing. To not have to plan my day and activities around booze, and whether there will be enough of it, and how we can get more...
I really needed that weekend. It has renewed my faith in my own sobriety.
I CAN do this, and I CAN enjoy life without booze.
