First weekend without booze!!!
 

Ive managed to do a saturday and sunday night without booze!! Sat here with a cuppa watching a film, looking forward to work tomorrow and looking forward to a good nights sleep! Ive been down the beach, out shopping with my kids, enjoyed healthy meals (kinda ;-) and feel great! Cant believe when i woke up this morning i had this overwhelming urge to just..do something to break the vicious cycle i was in! And i made the first step..admitting on here i had a problem! I knew it wasn't normal to spend as much time as i did obsessing about drink, being envious of people who could quite happily take a drink or leave it, someone said to me last week they hadn't drank in months..i couldnt believe it!!

I feel like ive been wearing steamed up glasses for so long and someones come along and cleaned them for me, my head was a constant fuzzy mess, full of anxious thoughts, paranoia, self loathing....but somehow..i was still functioning in a high position at work, caring for my family, having people say i must be superwoman for working full time and having a brood of children...if only they knew i used to think!!!! Well now i am gonna be that superwoman , im gonna kick the booze into touch and get real :-)

Looking forward to getting in the car in the morning without having to worry about being breathalized :-)))))))

Met some quality peeps on here today also which has made it oh so much easier and enjoyable.....peace out :-))))))) XXXXXX:thanks

Sounds like the start to agreat Summer .
Keep on it really does get better.

Hey SSGL,

My first sober weekend too!! I love what you said about feeling 'normal', it's great not to be skulking around feeling shifty and devious and guilty isn't it? Oh freedom - sobriety is so sweet!

Nice one Seasidegirl :) My first few weekends I was ecstatic, it only gets better from now on :) x

The feeling is great, waking up on a Monday morning without a hangover.
I can vouch for that.

It is great isn't it?I can actually function again before 11am:):c029:

That is so fantastic! Well done :)

Great post. Glad to see you made some real progress. I know the feeling about getting in the car and worring about breathalizers.

I feel like a new gal :-) takin one day at a time, if i can stay sober for even a night, there aint nothin stoppin me stayin sober for life...alcohol...pfffft ;-) thanks for all your wonderful support peeps :-) XXXXXX
