18 days

I'm so grateful that I haven't had a drink in 18 days. I haven't woken up wondering how angry my husband is, if I embarrassed my kids, if my phone is lost, if I let the dogs in, if I really blacked out, fell off a sailboat at midnight and had to be fished out by EMTs, if I'm in my own bed, if those feet I feel are my husbands, if I wandered to a neighbors house, if I passed out in front of babysitter, if I passed out on toilet and hit my head on tub when I went down, and so many other hideous demoralizing incidents where I put myself in a lethal situation. I'm So GRATEFUL. I hope I never forget the feeling of waking up in the ER, husband so angry he isn't even there. I'm scared to death I will forget. I can't.... ever.

Well done on 18 days. I can relate to all you are saying - different scenarios but same feelings. You are doing brilliantly

All things to put behind you - you don't ever have to wake up with that feeling of dread ever again.
