2 weeks today
It was 2 weeks ago, on January 5th, that I went my first night sober. The night of the 4th I allowed myself to drink, but made the vow that when I went to bed that night the old me would die, and the new me would awake that following Sunday.
There were uncertainties on that first day, but decided I was done with drinking and just went with it. Looking back, I find it hard to believe that it has already been two weeks. It was the best choice I made and today I feel better than I have in years. I know that my body is still healing from years of alcohol abuse, but each day I can feel myself feeling better and better.
Today, I can look myself in the mirror and not be ashamed of myself. The skin on my face is still not perfect, but it has gotten better and more cleared up since that first week. But at least I'm no longer looking in the mirror and see either a reflection of me drunk or hungover staring back at me.
