Just felt like sharing
I my story super fast is that I have been drinking since I was 16 and only in the last four years every single night and in 34. I quit back in January for a while then back on a wine binge but it happened so slowly I didn't see the train wreck. By the time I caught it which was two days ago I had brought my hubby to tears and he wanted out of our marriage. He aupports me and loves me of corse but I haven't been this committed until now! I have to so this. I want to so this. I've for things I feel guilty for and things I've some that are so embarrassing just to drink (not sexual of corse) but manipulative. I'm not proud of who I was even two days ago but I know where I'm going and that I will have a happier life sober! Thanks for listening guys and I'm so glas you are here for me!!

The person you were 2 days ago was under the influence of Alcohol.
As time goes by you will continue to change a great deal. Part of recovery is building a new and healthy life as well as a different way we deal with things.
Personally I am extremely different sober. Good job on 2 days!!
Glad your husband is supporting you! If things are hard for him consider some Al-Anon for him. It can help him understand better.

I am in the same Christmc...I have been drinking pretty much all of my life..Can't recall a festive picture of me that I didn't have a drink in my hand...I quit for a year several years back but eventually I slipped back into it. I retired recently and am finding that a day doesn't go by that I don't have a few stiff drinks...Today is my first day sober...Hoping to find some support out there..

Wow, that would be a treat for me , riding on the back of a new HD being able to see everything without worrying about driving! Miss my old Goldwing , but before I decided to get sober my SO used to ride on the back hanging on to me for dear life her head buried in my back hoping I didn't kill us both , she knew I was a good driver but being half loaded all the time made it scary for her! Good Luck and enjoy yourself sober! Stay Strong and Well ! Bobby
