Day 8 & Prom
I'm on Day 8 and feel good. The nagging stomach pains are gone, my skin looks good, I'm sleeping well (actually a bit more tired but not in a bad way).
Today, my twins are going to their first prom. They are so excited and I'm happy to be a part of it...without a hangover.
This is what Im enjoying about sobriety: The moments Im truly present for.
I got asked on a date last night. My stomach clenched. I said no. I'm not ready to date. I'm not ready to explain why I don't drink. I'm still getting to know myself and I'm not ready to share with anyone. I fell asleep at a normal hour and woke up without regret.
It's only been 8 days. Drinking still crosses my mind. I shut it down and work my plan. Something finally clicked and I'm ready for this!!
