Thanks all! And Thomas, yeah, the camping trip I ended up opting out of. Had enough reasons (besides this) with my family that my friends weren't too upset, or at least didn't tell me they were
Making up for that by taking a camping trip with just my husband and I can't wait! I'm excited to go camping and not deal with a hangover and just enjoy the outdoors. With all my extra energy from not drinking on the weekends I've really been getting into hiking and other outdoorsy stuff. It's kind of exciting getting to know myself in this way. Really trying to focus on things I like to do since I can't just cover up everything with alcohol. It's a fun process, even if I go into a bit of an existential crisis here and there
I suppose that is pretty natural!
Thanks again for all the encouragement! I haven't been on here as much as I should, but every time I do pop on it's very helpful. I really appreciate it! And I'll try to stop in more often
