There are so many firsts when you stop drinking! I stopped in May - not without incident BUT I went on a vacation (no Alcohol), Memorial day (none), 4th of July (none), Halloween (none), THANKSGIVING (NONE!), and now we are going into Christmas and the New Year! So many firsts.
There is this peace inside of me that I can't explain. It's like I know my limits and I know who I am as a public person and never did. I drive, shop, read, clean, swim, walk, talk all casually which was not me while drinking. I'm not this one track mind crazed alcohol obsessed mess of a person. I don't want to rush through everything. I can't explain how much just being calm means to me. I didn't know!!!! I don't think I ever felt it and it's just very recent.
Anyway - done ranting about my calmness! LOL I wish you all the best and am glad you are here.
