Thanks everyone for the beautiful support...lots of comments on how happy I sound and I tell ya..I AM happy....so happy to be sober...at the end (of my drinking), I was in such a dark place....I was at the point where I was trying to accept that my life was set...I was a drunk and that was how it was always gonna be...I knew how awful it would keep getting...how it would be for my children (I am a child of an alcoholic and knew what everyone was in for). I had tried for 30yrs to quit....and just couldn't.....I felt so defeated and hopeless at the end. It was a deeply desperate horrible place...but I was also desperate for my little children to NOT grow up as I did....so I tried one more time to get sober....and it took! Which has made me the happiest person on earth...just for being sober. I can't believe I did it...that I was able to string together a few days and then weeks and then months....I juat can't believe I did it. That makes me joyous everyday! It was the recovery work that kept me going...I didnt just stop drinking...I knew that wouldnt last...I had to change everything...my diet, routine, outlook, emotional reaction, etc.. I had to dig deep and find the roots of my emotional dependancies so that I could reprogram. It's been a lot of work, but I am over the moon to have made such personal progress. I have a long way to go...and I'm only JUST starting to feel healthy...but I'm grateful to be living sober! When you come from such a dark place, the smallest amount of light can be overwhelmingly beautiful!
Keep going, it gets better still.
