I am feeling much better today. I have been so busy with things that I have not been taking very good care of myself either physically or emotionally and I think that caught up to me yesterday. My mental health needs to be a top priority because everything else in my life relies on how well I am functioning. I am so happy that I don’t drink anymore. I can imagine how awful I would be feeling this morning if I had gone out and bought that bottle of wine to drink alone, the guilt, self-loathing, and general depression it would bring are much worse than what I was contending with yesterday. Plus, I am actually feeling quite good today. I got things done last night, not everything but enough to make me feel proud of myself this morning.

I am normal, everyone has bad days and difficult times, the important thing for me is to look past the bad moment and realize that it will pass, I don’t need to drink to escape it momentarily and then multiple my problems a hundredfold. I am so grateful that life has given me this opportunity to change and see the world in a whole new light. Being sober makes me feel safe and confident. I am so grateful to be here.

I'm glad you're feeling better today. Yesterday was just "one of those days" and we all have those. I'm glad you got thru it sober.
