Hey Everyone!
Well, I'm approaching day 50 this Sunday and feeling proud about that. When I discovered SR, I didn't think I'd make it 2 weeks, and envied those who posted about their um-teenth day of sobriety. I thought to myself, "This is going to royally suck a*s, and be boring as he*l."
I was wrong. Totally wrong.
The new me barely misses alcohol. Certainly not the drunk part, but mostly the taste and the responsible cultural partaking in the consumption of a yummy glass of wine paired with the perfect meal.
The toast with champagne on New Year's Eve...
The sweet tang of Lemon Drops that only my sisters drank on my 30th birthday...
The homemade moonshine GIN my friends sipped on over x-mas...
The spiked eggnog! Sigh...
I really don't miss being drunk. And I don't miss being hung over. And most of all, I don't miss not remembering what the heck happened?! Or the fights with my fiance. I'm so grateful to be past all of that.
So, cheers (with my sparkling water!) to everyone who is in this with me. I wouldn't have been able to survive the first 2 weeks w/o SR.
Love and Hugs,
Hollyce

Congrats on your sobriety! btw Im tired of not remembering as well lol You can read my story titled "Realizing I have a problem" in the where were you section. Good luck!
