Thanks so much for all your supportive replies.

Mirage74 asked how I feel compared to 50 days ago, wow, what a question! I feel like a different person, not wallowing in self-pity, shame or remorse. Instead I'm really enjoying finding out who sober me is, what I like, what I don't like and I'm kind of starting to like myself!!!!! Hang on a minute, did I just say that? Yes I did....... I've spent so long hating myself that this is a very new feeling and I much prefer feeling like this.

I'm even starting to feel happiness, when I wake up in the mornings now I have a spring in my step and I smile.

I'm feeling bloody great!!!!

Hugs to all

D x
