Hi all! I made it through the whole vacation!!!! I am so stinking happy with myself. I do realize that I need to do some more recovery work to help immunize myself. The chatter in my head cropped up every day at cocktail time. But each night when I went to sleep all cozy, reading my book, and woke early - refreshed and without a headache, I was thankful and proud of myself.
I also noticed that my dad gets a lot more drunk than I previously thought. I always knew he drank a lot, but I never thought he was drunk. Because I was drunk. He is drinking how he always has, but I noticed slurring and a change in demeanor. It surprised me. My dad is not, however, an angry or rude or sloppy drunk. He's just like I was - a really heavy drinker. Only the alcohol does not seem to cause the same problems in his life as it did for me.
It was hard and awkward for me, but right now I have 84 days sober and for that I am so grateful.
