Day 24!

Hi everyone, well I am nearly at the first month of sobriety - I can hardly believe I am doing this. When I look back I really can't understand how I let it get bad. I am still absolutely determined not to drink again - I just don't need it, I don't need the hangovers, feelings of shame, foggy-ness, snappy-ness and lethargy all of the time. After many years of drinking I can accept it was a poison and a habit that did me no good. It is such a relief not to have to follow peer pressure and listen to the AV. I know it is early days but every day is a little celebration for me.

I have so much to fit into my life and things are going well for me. Although my sleep is still a little hit and miss, I am getting way more good quality sleep sober but a few 8-10 hour sleeps would really sort me out! I know from reading other posts that this will get better though.

Also my diet is working! I lost 8 pounds in weight so far and have a plan to get to my goal weight for the summer. I want to be a better person and I want to like myself at last I feel on track now and it's achievable.

All those who are feeling tempted to listen to the AV just don't. I am thankful to have come to my senses and now I am taking responsibility and taking charge or my life. There have been so many opportunities for me to drink so many mini dramas that I could easily have made an excuse to drink but I have remained strong. Re-reading Rational Recovery and it is keeping me focused. I am really going to do this!

Have a good week everyone xx
