Feeling better

I'm feeling better psychically and mentally. The thought of alcohol still comes and goes, but now that I'm pregnant, I know I CAN'T drink and won't. I hate that it came to this situation for me to stay sober, but I'm not going to quit working on my sobriety so that when these 9 months are over, or even worse if something bad happens, I don't go back.

My emotions are still all over the place and still trying to let this all sink in. I'm still very early in my pregnancy AND sobriety. I'm looking forward to getting excited and having happy emotions. Right now I'm still a little raw. I know it'll come, I still have a lot of work to do. Luckily, I've been so busy since Tuesday that I haven't had time to dwell.

Anyway, I just like I needed to check in. I hope everyone is doing well.

Thank you. I'm trying not to worry about the "what ifs" with this pregnancy. I am just praying to God, and giving Him my all, trusting Him.

I'm also cutting back on smoking. I haven't completely quit but have cut back dramatically. Hubby will have to cease smoking around me soon too, which he knows.

As I was walking my dog today (which I never do) I was thinking about all the horrible things I've done while drinking. I never want to go back to that person. It sucks that it's so socially accepted. The commercials, ads, and what have you. I've figured out those are triggers for me. Thinking, "oh look at them, enjoying ONE beer". Those people don't even exist! They're actors! That's the mind for ya I guess.
