8 weeks today
Well, today is 8 weeks without a drink. It's been pretty easy for the most part. Most of my worry is when I'm not anywhere near drinking and just getting lost in my thoughts. My friends have seemed a little confused as to why I keep saying no to their drink offers, but hopefully that will diminish over time. I haven't really talked about this with anyone except my husband and of course all of you!
I'm appreciating my sobriety. It's nice not waking up hungover and honestly the idea of drinking, although still occasionally appealing, more or less scares the **** out of me. Thinking back on my behavior and the person I act like when I'm drunk... shudder inducing. Of course my AV or whatever pops up and tells me it wasn't as bad as I'm remembering... but a lot of times it was. Sometimes worse. And I really don't want to be that person any more.
Learning about my life without alcohol is interesting. I'm in a better place to do this than I have been before, more health-conscious, more motivated to do something with my life, more aware that I can make my life and myself be whoever I want to be. It's not always easy, because I have a lot to adjust, but it's coming along.
So thanks for the support over the past 8 weeks (and all the time before). I'm doing well and working hard to keep it that way. Hope you are all having a great day and that even if you slipped up over the weekend that you can make a fresh start today.
