Made it through another day
I feel like every day counts. At least that is where I'm at. I've binged every weekend and I mean EVERY weekend for the last 10 years. With moderate drinking during the week. I started having beer for breakfast a few weeks ago because of a really bad break up and I said enough. I need to see if I can stop.
I've made it a week so far. It's Saturday night and I've said no to 2 parties.. It's a big deal. I had a SEVERE craving for a bottle of wine today I could barely stand it. I was face down lying on the couch miserable. It actually scared me to see how dependent I was.
Anyway! I wanted to share the incredible day I had today completely sober. Just to reiterate to myself, and share with any of you who feel lost without the booze.
Went to hot yoga class
Bought the entire Joss Whedon X men comic series. So excited.
Went to Dollar Store with a friend and bought a ton of fake flowers and headbands...
Had amazing brunch
Came home put on music and started making flower headbands
----- Sunset is when the severe craving for wine kicked in. The intense feeling of loneliness, emptiness and sadness was overwhelming. But I pushed through it. I realized I can't cover that up with booze forever and then suddenly after a few hours it was gone. And I felt great. I succeeded and became just that much stronger.
Went to a comedy show with my friend. Drank orange and club soda
Came home and looked in awe in the mirror at how lovely my skin looks after a week sober.
Now in bed wishing people strength and feeling good about being able to get through another day.
Going to start reading first comic book.
EPIC day sober. It's possible. I have yoga, friends and this forum to thank. There is hope. Thank you.
