I think I'm o.k!!!!

It's my 16th day sober and two of those days were really really bad but I didn't run to the bar and I finally called my mother and was honest about things with her and I feel good inside! I think I'm going to be o.k!! Sobriety feels better then I even thought! I had no idea I was living in a such a fog adn now that things are so clear I'm amazed by how beautiful everything is. Each feeling is a new one I didn't have before! I'm loving this.

It does feel good doesn't it? I can't beleive how clear my head is - after years of not even knowing it wasn't !

my little girl has just started playgroup and I have managed to strike up conversations with some of the other mothers there - was never able to do this before as i was so paranoid an dangry all the time because I had been drunk the night before and felt so worthless. Now I feel that I am the same as them! Does that make sense?!

Day 26 and rolling!
