Feels good to be sober today!
 

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported me last night when I was going through a really tough craving. You all were right, I do feel good this morning. Not hungover and not still in bed bitching about how I wasted the day because I dont feel like doing ****. I woke up at 8 am and cooked my daughter sausage and eggs and started cleaning the house. Busy day today. Going to 2 AA meetings today (one at noon and one at 8 pm). Then I am taking my daughter swimming at my grandmothers apartment providing that she is feeling better. She just completed round 2 of her chemo treatment. The weekends really are my weak point, but if I keep going to meetings and keep myself busy, I dont think it will be an issue. I am almost at the 2 week mark, and I am not gonna lie, it has actually flown by. Feels like I quit 3 days ago. I am not saying I haven't struggled with this (obvioulsy) but the days do get better and I am starting to realize everything I have to be thankful for and not be so negative or take everything for granted. It's amazing how alcohol makes you so selfish. I am really hoping I start to feel happy soon though. It kind of feels like I have depression trying to creep up on me. Again, thank everyone so much for the support. It really does get me through all this.


Dom.

Glad to see you feeling better Dom...Enjoy the meetings. Hope your grandmother is feeling better.

I'm very glad to hear that you didn't drink last night, Dom. Keep going - it gets better and better. :)

Me too, Desert. It was really difficult but I pushed through it. No point in giving up now! Thank you :c031:

Nice thread Dominica, glad to hear you are doing so well. Sausage and eggs? Sounds good to me, think I'm gonna go do the same thing right now. Have a good day.

Thanks Michael. She enjoyed breakfast lol. Have a great day as well! :0)

I'm happy you didn't drink! Have you found a sponsor yet? :)

So happy for you and very proud!! Way to go Dominica!!!Lind

Thanks, SB. Yes, I did. She is awesome! I only have one concern, though. She only has a year sobriety. I dont know if that should really be a concern, though?

Thank you Lind!!

I'm so proud of you and so happy! This part is hard, but it leads to a good life, please believe all of us when we promise you this!

Glad you feel better Dom :)

Imagine having to do your busy day a hungover mess UGH!

Have an awesome weekend!

P.S. I am sure your daughter loved you cooking this morning & taking here out today.... :ring

The depression stuff is very common for a few months after we stop drinking. However, in some cases it remains & needs to be treated as well. I found that out after relapsing many times that I was clinically depressed as well. Congrats on the sober time, I seem to remember you were drinking a large amount of beers per day.
