Day six!!
I dunno why, but it came to me today that this is my 6th day sober and it actually made me SMILE!
I don't think I've lasted this long - especially this year as it's been a pretty bad one, it's been so stressful and the thought has come into my head a lot but I've pushed it away.
I was getting really anxious as the weekend slowly crept up towards me but I've made completely sober plans, a cinema date, some food and no alcohol at all. Taking it extremely easy. So now I feel much better.
I'm so excited, I keep smiling and feel butterflies and it's just nice to have that feeling again, instead of being numb all the time.
DAY SIX!! No idea, just feel proud of myself. Wanted to share that

Isn't it funny? After all the drunken laughter, the genuine smiles start after we become sober. I have really found myself smiling these days...even though I'm under some great pressure. Still, it's like a whole different set of smile muscles.

It's great. Usually I'd be smashed out of my face on my own right now but the thought isn't even coming into my head!
It's making me smile so much, I really forgot how to genuinely smile.
I am just excited for the weekend now, got butterflies and just feel so nice. Everything is panning out nicely, and I know it's early days but I'm looking forward and not back.
When I drank I had this constant cloud over my head, a massive worry but it's relieving to know it's not here right now. I don't feel like I need to drink to "cope". A weight has been lifted and I can breathe.
Sorry to babble on, it just feels nice to have this sort of mindset, I haven't felt it in years.. Maybe not ever at all!
