First weekend without booze!!!

Ive managed to do a saturday and sunday night without booze!! Sat here with a cuppa watching a film, looking forward to work tomorrow and looking forward to a good nights sleep! Ive been down the beach, out shopping with my kids, enjoyed healthy meals (kinda ;-) and feel great! Cant believe when i woke up this morning i had this overwhelming urge to just..do something to break the vicious cycle i was in! And i made the first step..admitting on here i had a problem! I knew it wasn't normal to spend as much time as i did obsessing about drink, being envious of people who could quite happily take a drink or leave it, someone said to me last week they hadn't drank in months..i couldnt believe it!!

I feel like ive been wearing steamed up glasses for so long and someones come along and cleaned them for me, my head was a constant fuzzy mess, full of anxious thoughts, paranoia, self loathing....but somehow..i was still functioning in a high position at work, caring for my family, having people say i must be superwoman for working full time and having a brood of children...if only they knew i used to think!!!! Well now i am gonna be that superwoman , im gonna kick the booze into touch and get real :-)

Looking forward to getting in the car in the morning without having to worry about being breathalized :-)))))))

Met some quality peeps on here today also which has made it oh so much easier and enjoyable.....peace out :-))))))) XXXXXX

Congratulations on having a sober weekend Seasidegirllau! If you feel this great right now, just imagine what you're going to feel like in the upcoming days, weeks, months, and years ahead!

Hey SSGL,

My first sober weekend too!! I love what you said about feeling 'normal', it's great not to be skulking around feeling shifty and devious and guilty isn't it? Oh freedom - sobriety is so sweet!

The feeling is great, waking up on a Monday morning without a hangover.
I can vouch for that.

Great post. Glad to see you made some real progress. I know the feeling about getting in the car and worring about breathalizers.
