30 days! Without white knuckling it :)

Day 30 sober! I'm so happy, I can't even begin to describe how monumental this is for me! I went a month twice last year for my husband, but was miserable, constantly thinking when I could drink again. Depressed & fought during 2 vacations over it.
This time I did it for me. I accepted I will never be a "normal" drinker. I was tired of the control alcohol had over me, my thoughts. It's all I thought about.

I surrendered & said goodbye to that poison, accepted that i could never drink again & was ok w/ that finally. Let my HP open my eyes to see all the lies I'd been feeding myself.
The first 2 weeks I struggled, but now I have PEACE. No more invading thoughts, no cravings, no despair.
It's the best thing I ever did.
And you can too.
I love myself again, have self respect, free from that prison of pain.

I read the BB, Beyond The Influence, working through the AA steps, but mainly relying on SR & God.
