Congrats Sober369! You sound really positive!
Thanks for the warm welcome, YuriO!
BobDrop, so good to see you here again. We can do this. We have to shift our way of thinking about alcohol.
I'm feeling a lot better now. I had a full bottle of wine last night and it nearly killed me. I don't say that kiddingly, I did feel like I was going to die (from about 4:00 am to 9:00 am I was constantly throwing up and unable to even move without dry heaving near the end). Thankfully I'm better now and well tonight, I went to a meeting. I use SMART Recovery and tonight's meeting was particularly helpful to me. A guy I know who has been sober for a while kind of slipped up recently with a few beers, so that made me feel comfortable confessing what happened to me last night. And I'm really glad I did because I got some great and helpful advice. Lots of hugs and good community feeling. I feel so much better and not like such a loser as I did earlier today.
The fireflies are out tonight and it's so pretty out! Look forward to everyone's posts.
