59 days and thankful
The changes I am going through.....where do I start...... It is so amazing that I don't have to lie to myself and my husband anymore. The weight and burden of my secret was weighing heavily on my mind and body. I feel so much lighter. I can look in the mirror and I am happy with what is looking back at me. I no longer have to worry about what I said the night before because now I actually remember. I can concentrate for more than 2 minutes now. I can put a sentence together without forgettig what I am trying to say half way through it. I can sleep for 8 hours straight now. I can get things done around the house because it no longer cuts into my drinking time. I can go out for a drive at anytime of the day and night. I can take my dog to new places as I am able to drive now. I can make wonderful meals because I finally have an appetite. I can use the money that I used to spend on wine on a new pair of shoes or jeans. I can be out in public and not be paranoid that someone can smell alcohol on me. I can actually smell and taste things now. My favourite thing though by far is being in control. I love that I am back in the drivers seat.

Oh, well said, Holly7. It hasn't been that long for me but you are reminding me of why I am not drinking and I am remembering more vividly the weight of it all, the hassles, having to live with all that and playing defense all the time. Thanks.

I got nothing against dogs zanzibar! Hehehe. I used to be a petsitter. I live in a rental place now that doesn't allow dogs so we're gonna have to hold off for a few years. I had the sweetest rescued hound for seven years. I miss my old doggy. Pups are awesome but i do adore my kitties.
