Six months today Hello again everyone. Today I looked at my sobriety clock and got my 6 month e-chip. 6 months of less anxiety and depression. 6 months of waking up and looking forward to the day rather than panicking about what might have happened from fragments of the night before. The heart palpitations, nose bleeds, spotty & dry skin have cleared up, the bloated pasty face gone. A few pounds too, although the ice cream is still keeping me in hibernating chunk! I work with people with alcohol related brain damage now. Working with them has made it so much easier to quit. I want to be stable for the people I work with in their recovery. It would not be fair to turn up hungover, sweating alcohol when they too are fighting a daily battle. They have given me the strength and drive to improve. And shown me how destructive alcohol really is. I was drinking at higher levels than some of the people there, so I know one day where I could be. Im also joining a volunteer programme for communities affected by alcohol, concentrating on others has helped so much more than when I constantly blamed myself for being weak. One day at a time, life gets better! |
Congratulations on 6 months of recovery! I'm glad that you're doing well. |
Fantastic job, bones! |
congratulations!! :) |
