Hello out there! I just had a pretty awesome realization....April is coming to close and if I make it to May, it will have been an entirely sober April by choice. I want to get there. I refuse to get too confident or nonchalant about it because I know how quickly the urge to drink can swoop in and overtake my mind...even if that happens, I don't want to have any drinks because one will lead to more, I just know it. Why wouldn't it? In what universe would I just want one drink? I need to accept that will never change about me. Even if I think it has changed, I must remember that I don't want to risk it and that drinking is completely unnecessary.
Some upcoming things that I am looking forward to experiencing sober:
- the wedding of an extended family member
- family get-togethers
- hanging out with friends
- just random days of the week and weekends!
Some upcoming events that I'm a little nervous about:
- the year anniversary of my dad's death (for obvious reasons)
- my marriage anniversary (will it be hard not to "toast"?)
Just have to anticipate potentially difficult feelings and plan ahead about what I will do in those situations. Hope all are well who may be reading this- take care.
