Day Six

Hi! So, my husband came home last night from his business trip and I told him all about my blog and sobriety pledge. He was so happy for me and said he was proud and would support me in this journey. He said he will even do it with me! I am so excited for us! Now, I am going to tell my daugher, Alison age 9. She will for sure keep me accountable! Who better than a mouthy 9 year old to keep you on the straight and narrow! Today is Day 6. I cannot remember the last time I went 6 whole days without a drink. Who am I kidding! I cannot remember the last time I went one day without a drink. I have slept thru the night two nights in a row! I am having problems falling asleep, but once asleep I sleep like a baby. It is amazing how much clearer my head is. I don't get irrated as easily and find that I am actually happy. Hopefully this is not just some "honeymoon" period and the feeling will last. I am hopeful. I was unpacking again last night. I have about a million boxes in my basement. I unpacked the boxes marked "wine and martini glasses". I will admit I love wine glasses just about as much as I loved wine. I have about a hundred if not more wine glasses. I had a moment of sadness thinking I would never use these beautiful glasses again. But, why can't I have my seltzer in the glasses!? So, I did. It was wonderful. Just holding the glass felt good. I am learning every day. This will be a journey, no doubt. But one that I am mentally and physically ready to take on. I do have one worry though. Once I am done unpacking the house, what I will I do with all my free time? I mean, now I am unpacking instead of drinking. Once that is done, what next? Hummm...I must think. If you have any ideas please share. How do you spend your free time now that you are not occupied with drinking? Peace, Love & Eternal Happiness, Me.
