Just a girl who wants to stay sober and not drink. So tired of the guilt, anxiety and feelings of worthlessness that result from drinking. Have a bit over a week of not drinking, and as much as it stinks to have to face reality, I am doing it sober. Still feeling fairly crappy but I know it will take a while to undo the psychological damage I have done to myself. I have to figure out who the sober me is. I have been numbing myself with alcohol, now it is time to have to truly experience my emotions, as unpleasant as it may be at times.
Looking forward to being part of the SR community. I have been reading a lot of posts and they are truly helpful.

Welcome to the family.
I'm glad you're staying sober as living sober really rocks. It also eliminates a lot of problems: physical, mental, financial, and legal. I've been sober for 14 months now and can honestly say I haven't felt this good in a long time. Congrats on your sober week.
Keep on keepin' on, one day at a time. The rewards are wonderful.

You sound just like me indecisive....not facing reality and being numb has been my life for longer then I can remember and I'm scared to death to discover the "real" me. This place is keeping me on track and it's refreshing to see so much positivity. Glad you are here and best of luck!
