I know this has been said before but if life turned into sparkles and sunshine as soon as we stopped drinking, we would have done it the first time we thought there was a problem and then sailed off into the sunset with our cup of tea. I feel much better re less anxiety and depression and generally healthier but all the stuff I had been trying to drown in my wineglass is now staring me in the face.
And I have to deal with it at some point.
But what I thought would be major is minor (and vice versa) I thought loneliness would wipe me out when sober but I am quite happy on my own as I have so much to sort through and it is easier to do alone. I am getting to know sober me and she is actually quite nice. I am frustrated I am not doing more towards setting up a business/self-employment but I need to rethink what I want to be when I grow up.
Attention Lurkers: We would love to hear from you. Once a Marcher…etc etc (Also it is pretty lonely here in a different timezone!)
