Hi Class!
Checking in to say hello.
Tomorrow will be 3 months sober for me.
I am so grateful and blessed to be able to get here, thanks to the amazing world that is SR.
The last couple of days have been a bit of a roller coaster with emotions but overall I think I am getting the hang of this life without alcohol!
No, not everyone drinks like us. I find though that the thoughts and emotions that go through my mind around even 'normal' drinkers are unpredictable. I would say 75% of the time, no big deal- I carry on. The other 25%, my mind starts to swirl with real angst and I get angry about my addiction. An exit plan is key.
I pray that with some more sober time and sober muscles, I will develop a more consistent 'meh' attitude around alcohol. I'm guessing that there will always be moments of struggle for me. The world keeps turning. And what is the saying.....'living life on life's terms'? Yes, working on just that.
