Like the title says, I really wanted to drink last night. I'm newly sober and I am trying to find ways to cope with my emotions that do not involve drinking. I got dinner started late, and I usually drink some wine or have a bit of vodka while I am prepping and cooking. I felt frustrated because things weren't going smoothly. I ALMOST went for a glass of wine- but I stopped myself. I remember the quote I read on here yesterday- something like, "It's much easier to stay sober than it is to get sober." That really resonated with me.
This is the longest I have went without a drink in years, and it feels so good. I just want to think everyone in this sub for your posts and support. I come here every morning- it has been a tremendous help. I am so happy I didn't pour that glass of wine! Let's be real, I would not have stopped at just one glass.
I have more energy than I have had in forever. My mind feels so clear, and I no longer wake up hurting all over with a bloated stomach, watery bloodshot eyes, and a pale face I have to cover with makeup. My anxiety and fleeting feelings of depression have all but disappeared. I can't wait to see how much my life and health continues to improve.
