That feeling that makes you think you are missing out...
It is the holidays. A lot of people in our lives, people not afflicted by alcoholism (some of them around us also are alcoholics) are drinking and partying a lot. I will be honest - if you came to me a month ago and said I would be spending yhe holidays sober, I would've laughed. Among my friends and circles, I am known to be a party girl and many cannot believe I am spending my holiday nights away at home and not a nightclub or bar.
Some of the people are trying to get me to see "what you are missing out on." Tis funny how being sober changes your perspective. A friend sent me a pic of a nightclub dancefloor packed to the rafters, and all l thought about was feeling happy I am not among 100s of sweating people in a confined space.
I am only onDay 6. But on Day 1, I felt like I was missing out on so much. Even just by hearing music blasting from a car. Now not anymore. I am not missing out on anything, other than addiction that ultimately desires to kill me in the end.
Stay strong, my friends. Onwards to Day 7.
