Here I am 10 days sober and clean!
In 10 days I have survived a graduation party, a 5 hour road trip to and a 5 hour road trip back from my parents house. ( In the past this would have been 10 hours of non stop drinking and using.)
I made it through 2 dinners at 2 different restaurants over the week-end, with everyone drinking alcohol but me.
I have survived putting up with my snarky, sarcastic, attitude-filled sister questioning me why I'm not drinking and being mad that I was not.
I made it through 2 week-ends and a Monday.
And I'm still clean and sober.
If you would have asked me 1 month ago if this day would ever come, I would have panicked at the thought of it.
Instead I am living my life. Literally, living every moment.
And I am learning that life without beer and/or coke is doable and wonderful.
I have a game plan for every event that I know is coming up.
I have a mantra I play over and over in my head for when the urge strikes to drink or pick up.
I play the tape from beginning to end and I read, read, read here.
This being sober stuff is like a new world to me.
Everything is different and new.
It's incredible, really
