Good morning Everyone,
I am up and getting prepared to go to a job interview. I’m looking forward to it.
I’m now just over 6 weeks sober and it has been suprisingly easy. I think that’s because I have other bigger challenges in my life and being sober has made it easier to deal with them, although it has also meant I have had to face up to my real feelings. My internal state is much steadier than when I was drinking by I still experience the highs and lows. They are not as high and low though.
I am wary of when I have my other issues sorted. My drinking has been driven by two things. Firstly boredom but it was always a reward. I would get to Friday afternoon and drink through the weekend and then begin the cycle again. In my family things were celebrated with alcohol. Birthdays, new jobs, you get the picture. No more though.
I think I am coming out of my few weeks of intense introspection so feel like I want to post more so I am.
Take care and have a great sober day!
