I can't imagine ever having the nerve to just boldly say, "I can't drink because it's killing me." I'm so accustomed to always having a secret or three working under the surface at all times. So keeping my not-drinking under wraps feels safe. I'm buying new running shoes tomorrow, so it's good cover lol.
Thanks for story and the inspiration to get out the door! And congrats on raising a sober child!
One of the best parts about getting sober is that we don't have to keep secrets. We can now just have info or details we choose to share or not - we aren't continuously, desperately trying to keep anything under wraps. It's an amazing gift.
