Checking in- day 12 and I made it through the day yesterday which I was pretty worried about. I'm picking my older kids (11 & 9) up from grandma's in a couple of hours, and then our family is heading out camping for the weekend. I'm really looking forward to the getaway and just being in nature. My husband doesn't drink so there will be no alcohol around, in the middle of the woods!
I'm slowly starting to feel more and more alive every day. I've had a few days of what felt like releasing a lot of repressed emotions that I'd been just stuffing and stuffing down over the years. So, emotionally I've been a bit of a roller coaster, (for me SUPER weird since I almost never allow myself to cry or really express any negative emotion).
Anyway, I'll take that over waking up hungover and full of shame any day. I hope you all have a great weekend- won't be able to check in until Monday. I just keep telling myself, we NEVER have to go through this again!
