Hi guys, think I've missed about a week.... hope everyone is ok. Amidst all the Christmas chaos, I've discovered something quite enlightening. When I was drinking, I was a total party animal. I was always the first one on the dance floor, the last one to leave, always loud, always in the thick of everything... and I thought that was because I was always, well … drunk. And for the first 2 years of sobriety, I lived a much quieter life. I stayed away from my old drinking buddies and clubs and dance floors and focused on getting to know who I really am. Well, guess what? Turns out sober me loves dance floors too! Over the course of the last week, I've been to 4 Christmas parties and I have danced my socks off. I've been getting home after 1am and the best thing is, I've been feeling great in the mornings. And I'm able to combine being a party animal with being responsible …. I drive everyone everywhere and make sure the drinkers get home ok. Feels like I've had an awakening this last week..... and suddenly I see.... I never needed alcohol. It added nothing to my life. Absolutely nothing. I'm having the best time ever without it. It's taken 2 years but finally I think I'm really becoming the person I need to be. I'm a person who is first and foremost a wife and mother but also I'm a person who loves to go out with friends and sobriety allows me to wear as many hats as I want …. mum hat, wife hat, party animal hat, santa hat, worker bee hat …. and doing everything sober means I have the time and energy to do everything I want to do. Because I don't lose any time to hangovers, shame, regret or self-hatred. I never thought life would be more fun sober. But it is. It really is. I'm bowled over with how full my life has become now I've stopped poisoning myself on a regular basis. I love sobriety and all of you. 24 more please xxxxx
