Morning Class of May
Thanks to all of you for helping me through my first totally sober weekend in 8 years. I'm so glad I found this group.
Pleased to announce that I actually feel kind of okay today! Monday used to be my hell day after a hard weekend of drinking. And a week ago today I started my opiate withdrawals and was still suffering from alcohol poisoning from the Saturday before. I was dehydrated still, unable to eat, and shivering madly. I was actually wearing a snuggie while sitting at my desk. And it was 70 degrees.
And today I was able to run 8 miles before work and am starting my day listening to happy music. I didn't even know happy music was still on my iPod.
Granted I'm in for a tough day because I can already feel my benzo withdrawals kicking in. The famous week 2 benzo withdrawals are here NoTears. But that's not the point. The point is that there has been progress. Maybe sobriety is like losing weight-- where once you see a little bit of progress it makes it a little bit easier to stay motivated?
Robinson welcome to the group!
