My First SOBER Week!
Hello all! Yea me! I am so happy and excited to be on this journey! Finally, my mind feels a bit clearer, my eyes are bright white, and my severe shame and guilt, though still there, know that I mean business and that I am working hard to live a life without alcohol. I have attended meetings every day this week....really scary! First the logistics...which door do I go in? Do I have the right building? First floor or second? Then the fear of meeting people...will they welcome me? Snub me? I have enjoyed every moment of these meetings! From the very first one last Saturday night, I have been offered phone numbers and made some new friends. I have been welcomed, encouraged, and congratulated for my decision. Physically, I am feeling really great! My withdrawal symptoms, after 30 years, were not bad. Still not sleeping but I think that is more because I have found other drinks, like sparkling waters, and teas, and I keep drinking all the way up to bedtime! Duh! I resisted this decision for many years....I wish I had not! Feeling great! Thanks for letting me share!

Topoford, it's my friends birthday tonight and I was starting to panic about the temptation to drink. I am 5 days clean, and to hear you so positive has lifted my spirits! Thank you sooo much. I am proud of you.
