Wow, the sober days truly do just start flying by. It is so crazy that tomorrow is 7 months for me. If I really consider it, this is such a big deal. I had no idea how I would feel and thankfully at this point, there are very few times where I feel like drinking. Whenever those times happen, they just never seem to last. I am a lot happier with this new normal. I've had a few drinking dreams and always wake up haunted and so glad they weren't real. This is such an accomplishment!!!
I ought to find a group to go to at some point here in our new town. It's a good supportive environment to experience every now and again for me, whether I feel like drinking or not. Helps in holding things in the light.
Had a discussion with my husband about the holidays approaching and how at first I thought perhaps I'd get a bottle of wine as a present for someone and had realized I had no reason to do that at all, for them and for me. He said he no longer wants to give alcohol as a present to anyone because we have no idea of that person's relationship with alcohol. I thought that was such an insightful, sensitive reasoning. It blew me away.
Hope all are well out there and much love to you.
Good point re wine as gifts!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's so commonplace to give wine. Before, if I would get alcohol as a gift, I would of course immediately consume it that night. I mean, it certainly wasn't going to sit in the cabinet for a "special occasion"!! I don't want to be a part of that for someone if they have a secret struggle. :)<3
