I love being sober! I love how my life was getting so much better without alcohol!
Looking back over the past week, I now see what led up to the relapse. I have been sick with some type of virus that has been going around at work (I work in a daycare). And for whatever reason, it hit me the worse! I don't handle being sick very well at all. It turned into laryngitis and I completely lost my voice. And my family will be here from Europe tonight! The house isn't cleaned the way I like it, and I feel overwhelmed and nervous. Instead of just being a responsible adult and toughing it out, I made the wrong choice to drink and sit out on the back patio ignoring it. Today I'm really paying for that bad decision, by being even more sick and I still haven't got all the cleaning done! Now I have to rush to get everything done before going to the airport this evening. And the anxiety and nausea isn't helping of course.
