Feeling Thankful

I've only been sober since March 18th but I feel very thankful that so far it has been fairly easy for me. Perhaps it is because I was truly ready to do this. I am thankful that I didn't lose my marriage, my family, my children, it never got to that point, Thank God. I had been wanting to quit for many years and I saw a Dr Phil episode about women and alcoholism and I saw myself heading down the same road as the women on the show. I quit that day and haven't looked back. I feel better physically, mentally, spiritually. My children now have the full attention of their mother instead of the constantly buzzed/drunk mom they used to have. The hardest part so far has just been driving past all the liquor stores and remembering the "rituals" i had every Friday and Saturday and picking out different beers to drink. It's gotten easier as I fill my time with fun, normal things to do. I feel things may be easier for me because I never was into the bar scene or were even around a lot of people who drink (my husband never does), I was the biggest drunk I knew. I wish all of you continued success in your recovery. It's nice that we can all support each other here and people will truly understand.
