55 days of sober

Hi all,

I'm nearly 2 months sober. Facing a weekend sober filled me with dread never mind getting by freaking 8!!

Life has got better. I'm happier, feel more like "me", and my world doesnt revolve around alcohol. I feel free - today at least (one day at a time)

I have a lot of sad moments, thinking of loved ones I've lost and havent mourned for properly because I drank through the sadness until it couldnt hurt. It hits me in waves now but instead of drinking over it I cry, in my thoughts I tell them I'm sorry and I miss them.

I'm learning to forgive myself, find the happiness in the little things and most importantly love myself.

If your having a bad day or struggling with anything keep going.

I find the honesty in this post really moving and I can relate. I am about to face my first weekend sober and I don't know if I will make it. I will be retreading this post of yours to get me through. Go well...your no fool

You can do it. I seriously couldn't see my life without alcohol now I can't see my life with it.

Good luck this weekend. Please keep us updated.
