Brightsky

It's a month today since I last drank alcohol 😊. What have I learned? Well the first 2 weeks were the worst , with bad cravings but its been gradually getting better since then.. am still getting the odd craving for a drink but have managed to resist it. It feels like I was feeding a needy demon and I realise it never helped anything or made anything better. I realise I was running away from things, running away from myself , but there comes a time when you have to stop running, stop and turn to face yourself and say, who am I , what do I want? & the answer is , I'm the same person I always was ! I just no longer feel that I have to try and be somebody else! I've never been the life & soul of the party but why should I apologise for that? We can't all be the same, we are all unique and we need to learn to embrace this and accept our true selves 😊
