"It's amazing how much effort I put into drinking just to feel SO bad." - Artsoul
YES! Thanks for that!
Day 9 and it's getting easier, but the pessimist in me is still waiting for the fallout.
Wine became my best friend, and though I miss her, I know it was a toxic relationship. I think what’s the hardest to come to terms with is that I didn’t necessarily ENJOY wine; I needed it to feel normal.
I am not a religious person either, and this is why I am so apprehensive about AA. Though I wholeheartedly respect other’s beliefs on religion and spirituality, it was something that I never really got much out of.
Reading everyone’s responses to my post made me smile and cry at the same time. I feel so much less alone, and it’s such a good feeling. It’s hard for people that can control their drinking to understand someone that obviously can’t.
I’m trying to figure out things that I can do in place of drinking that will make me happy, but right now it’s just been sleep and TV. Maybe I’ll get some ideas from you guys.
Thanks again. I am truly grateful.
