I'm into day 11 and sometimes there I could/would not leave the house thinking that someone had seen me the night before, or the night before that......... When I did eventually venture out my head would be down and I would feel shamed and paranoid thinking that everyone "knew". Today after only 11 days I am lifting my head in sobriety. People start to lay down new images of us when they see us sober and the past is forgiven, by those that matter that is.
