I've been doing well this week. I've been getting back into martial arts (aikido) which I love.
I've been alone and therefore could drink without my husband knowing. Yet- I have been sober. I was not sure how it would go. Each evening, staying sober seems better than drinking. I am happy about that.
(Gneiss- Sorry about your sister. That sucks. I'm with you on not pretending it's okay. Protect yourself.)
