Standing~4~My~5

Made it through day one and feel grateful for it! This morning felt so good knowing I didn't say mean things to my husband last night in my drunken stupors . I woke up a lot last night in a pool of sweat, shivering. I imagine it's all part of withdraw. I feel determined today and pray this is the one, the one where I end it for good. I've had many stops and starts this past year along with outpatient treatment, but it's a new day. I've just grown so tired of it's destruction in my life and the path that it was taking me down. I need to write these things and share them so I can look back when times are tough and I think being drunk would be better. It's not the answer today and it won't be the answer tomorrow. Life IS better sober and I believe I have made peace in my heart with the fact that I can never ever have a drink again. Thanks for letting me share on my day two. I know I have a long ways to go but day by day I'll knock it down and with that I'll gain more power over cravings. God help us all on our Journey!......Hugs, Jolie
