Hi everyone, just got through weekend number 14 sober
it's getting easier every week and reading all the stories on this site is such a great help. When I began this journey I did not truly believe I could make it this far, the prospect of quitting alcohol all together seemed like trekking mt everest - and I only drank on the weekends!! I have been trying to figure out what was different to my many sunday morning pledges this time around and I think it happened because that final weekend I had promised myself I wasn't going to drink, I really wanted a clean happy weekend, I ended up getting sh!tfaced drunk, taking drugs and completely humiliating myself, I was beyond disappointed with my actions. So I guess I just wanted to let those fellow binge drinkers and others that may have felt the same as me, at the very beginning of their journey know, that while I am still in the early stages of recovery, every single day after that particular weekend has been 100 times more fulfilling, fun & happier, I have spent this past 14 weeks discovering who I really am and the type of people I want in my life, it's been very challenging at times but when I think about how I felt that morning, everything gets put back into perspective. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Keep going, it's worth it
