Today is a big one..
I have 2 weeks of sobriety.
Today, I went to my Dr and for the first time ever I was completely honest with her about my drinking and my health. It was scary to say the words, and to admit I had been lying to her for years. I did it though and man I feel so much better now that she knows. She was so good about it. Proud of me today.
Today, I have my first appointment with an outpatient recovery program that I reffered myself to. Excited/nervous about that. But, again, I am proud of me today.
TODAY I am very proud of myself and the steps I am taking to achieve sobriety

Congratulations!! Doesn't it feel good to come clean?
I know when I lied on forms about how much I was drinking, I was also trying to lie to myself at the same time. "Hmm, how much do I drink? Well, sure, I guess it's really only one or two drinks a day, on average. That's moderate drinking. Sometimes three, and sometimes a lot more, but that's not the norm, really." [HA. HA. HA.]
Plus the answers for "how much do you drink daily" versus "how much do you drink weekly" were extremely different since I would binge -- so I could "fake" the answers that way.... No more.
Good luck with your recovery journey! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks everyone!!
I went for my first treatment session and it went well. We just did some intake stuff...discussed my drinking and what I hoped to get out of their program.
I will have homework and assignments and a team of support. They will develop a program that is specific for my needs and also teach me relapse prevention.
It feels right...and it sure feels good.
Thank you God for 17 days sobor
