I've been trying to study like a sober madwoman and keep ahead of the material because this class is challenging! Oh, but it is so incredibly, absolutely fascinating, too. I am in love with it. I am so happy to be in this class while not drinking. It will help me be so much more focused, help me to retain information better, help keep me connected to my goals, keep me dedicated. I want to get through nursing school completely sober- how cool and appropriate would that be??
It feels SO good to not be boozing through life. The booze veil was lifted when I stopped drinking and I really feel like a different person, woman, mother...existence is being experienced as it was meant to. I hate admitting it but I had forgotten what it meant to live life unaltered. Isn't that so sad? Life came to be naturally paired with SOMETHING chemical. Why did that happen? How? I think I'm a pretty reasonable gal....but there was no reason to that at all. It took over, very quickly if I remember. My switch was flipped. And now here I am..Day 82...slowly but surely doing it. This is truly what is best for myself and my world. With much love to all and a very happy weekend to you, I wish you well in your travels, whether old-time sober, newly sober, almost sober, contemplating sober, or happily non-sober.
Yay!! I agree!! Happy for you. School is hard enough, no idea how I got through the first year of my classes drinking, the last year was soooo much easier. Good luck!! Hope you go all the way.
