day3
So end of day 3 coming. Bit like a man possessed at work today, tired now. This weekend I, despite coming off the booze, acted like a normal person, a non serious drinker and it struck me today that not only is it hard not being a drunk anymore its equally hard readjusting yourself to simply being normal . I guess you have to let it simply grow on you and it will become the norm, who knows, haven't been there for years.
Took me awhile to get used to the new me. I was a very heavy drinker. If I wasn't drunk, I was recovering from one. This was my life.
Now, I can do what I want, go where I want and I am free.
Congratulations on three days. Remember, you never have to drink again. You just might like the new person you become : )

For many years, I lived at emotional extremes. Half the time I was riding a buzz from alcohol, feeling numb but good, not a care in the world. The other half I was hungover, miserable, anxious, and hated the world. Sober, I am somewhere in between. Sometimes content, sometimes a little depressed.
My drinking days were a constant emotional roller coaster. Early sobriety had been 'meh', but I'll take indifference any day.

I find it scary. Like jumping into a void with just hope to hang on to. Trouble is we get so used to booze in our lives its the norm, becomes the safe place, until it kills us, really slowly.
So anyway come on in day 4. Come in and make me smile !
