7 Weeks Today!
Today marks 7 weeks of sobriety for me. Last night I was reflecting upon a few of the stupid inappropriate things I had said and done because I was drinking. It was not a good feeling at all. But I did feel good about making the commitment to change in my life. I can be different now. I declined bottles of free wine this weekend more than once!! I really like the person that I am sober much more than the one I was when I was drinking. I do so many less embarrassing things. I don't feel good all the time because I have emotions that go up and down but I do feel physically and mentally better each day.
Being sober I haven't had to worry about making a complete a$$ of myself. I am in control and have my wits about me whenever I am interacting with people or making a decision.
I know that my sobriety is so young and fragile right now but I still feel like celebrating it everyday.
I would have struggled far more in achieving this mini-milestone if it wasn't for the opportunity for us to share on here about the struggles of sobriety and our desire to change. You have all really helped to keep me focused during some difficult moments. I want to stay here with you my SR friends as we escape the clutches of this demon disease.
When I am sober I am the person that I am meant to be. No matter how many cups of tea, naps, bubble baths, tearful phone conversations, hours of journaling and whatever else it will take to keep me self-aware and away from drinking, I am willing to do. My life is being saved, one day at a time.

It's great waking up KNOWING you've not made an a$$ of yourself isn't it and no withdrawals to suffer

Flying,
Congrats on 7 weeks! Not any easy task so keep up the good work. I am on day 50 today so we quit around the same time. For me it is no more guilt of hiding liquor and my drunk self from my family. But, I'm not sure how well we actually do hide these things, right?
