So glad you’re here and talked to your husband. Pray he’s supportive.
Drank like an idiot for a couple of years in high school. Didn’t drink in undergrad. Played sports. Started my love affair during early years of unhappy marriage, at about 27. Quit for a year at 29, then began again until this past Monday.
Have wanted to stop for so very long but couldn’t see a way out—no time for AA during the week. Certainly no time for rehab. I like this forum so so much because I can access it when I need it, any time.
I watched a movie tonight sober for the first time in a really long time and talked about it after because I followed the plot—it was so much more fun! I also got up and walked my dog in the cool morning. It was breathtaking, like a return to my whole self. I have this excitement and spunk about life again. I see beauty and miracles again. This is so much better than living the other way—like a prisoner. Yay liberation from bondage!!
You can do this.
