Wow, such a realistic post. A friend asked me today about how I feel when I am sober. I only then realised that the days I am sober, I am actually recovering from the last binge. I guess that cannot be classified as being sober.
Congrats on your week. I hope I couple make a similar post next Tuesday...

Thanks for the inspiring post! Congrats! Time to change, it looks like you already did, now all you have to do is imitate the last week, which you already know you can do right?

Thank you for this post! I can relate to so many of the things on your list. It helps me to remember what I love so much about not drinking. Congratulations on your one week sober! Make no mistake about it; that is quite an accomplishment!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm on day 10 now and feeling great. Your post sounds sooooo familiar to the way things used to be for me.....I don't miss that life! Albeit, it's hard right now but I have to much to lose being the drunk I was.
Keep going, and DON'T pick up another drink.

Very inspiring post. It really mirrors many of the things I am grateful for now that I am new to sobriety. Hiding the hangover at work, wow I don't miss that at all. It's crazy to think about how much of life we have been missing out on. I am really looking forward to getting it all back. Your list is great, I really connect with the wanting to be a good mom and be there for my kids as well.

i'm tired
didn't sleep well
feel a cold coming on
Now that I think about it, they must've thought I was a drinker or a really weird tired person because I said one of those every single day. Funny but pretty pathetic.

wonderful 4 u and the kids
i was getting ready to drive to the store tonight when i started my truck, i remembered i needed to ask my husband a question. i got out of my truck and walked over to where my husband was. as i was asking him a question i turned around and my truck was leaving me down the driveway in the dark, across the street crashing into the bushes between an office and another driveway with a car parked. needless to say i didnt put my emergency brake on before i got out.i believe there was a divine intervention cause so many really bad scenarios could have happened. where am i going with this you say? I WAS SOBER AND IT FELT SO GOOD!, and i was so thankful. 25 days
