32 days today
It’s been 32 days today without a single drop and you know what.....I’ve found more about myself than I have in fifteen yrs.
•I’ve noticed how mean my boss is to me and am now taking steps looking towards my future.
•Normally if something bad happens I harp on it for hrs or days but now I drink my herbal tea, garden, clean and focus on tomorrow as the future....not sweating over the present
•My argumentative husband gets even more angry where I haven’t retaliated. Instead I ignore and keep quiet.
•As my husband is an alcoholic I’ve really taken note of how bad my routine was with him. I can see how many empty bottles there are each morning, the early start of drinking everyday, the slurring, the laziness and every morning I can see the hangover...depression and tired looking face on him....where I use to be.
I’m sleeping much much better, waking up brighter, taking time to do stretches and making myself more presentable and most of all....thinking more clearly about the next stages in my life.
The downside is the redness on my face is still very prominent, I’m depressed and feel alone.
I keep telling myself I’m doing the right thing and I know I am...but just feel down still.

Hi Allie, fantastic on reaching 32 days, that's excellent and you should be so proud of yourself. I am only 19 days in so might not have the greatest advice yet as I am still learning but one thing I can say with confidence is that posting and chatting with the people on SR will help you feel less alone. There is so much support here, the people are amazing, supportive and are here for you 24/7. Getting involved in this community has really helped me feel less isolated. I am really happy you have posted and hope you stick around. You don't have to do this alone xx

congrats on 32 days. That is wonderful! I hope the redness goes away soon. Drink some cool water every hour if you don't already.
I take classes at the gym if I feel lonely or go to church. That is what helps me! I also live with a drinker.
