Today is my 13th day of sobriety. I made it through my first party last night - lots of good friends - and lots of good wine. I really wasn't tempted - much. I was surprised how easy it was - and also how interesting it was to watch others drink (and drink too much).
Every day I feel a little better, with strong doses of grumpiness here and there. Today I noticed that the puffy bags under my eyes are gone! They've been an ever present feature for a few years now, despite the amount of sleep I get, or what I eat. It's all about the booze.
What is working for me right now is to read sobriety blogs, write and talk to my husband. I have gone to 2 AA meetings so far, and will continue to go - but it is only one part of my process.
I am thankful to all of the resources out there - I couldn't imagine doing this without them! Here's to Day 13!
