The first picture is when I was binge drinking. I am hungover in that picture. A week or so later I decided to be sober. The second picture is 30 days of sobriety. I plan on continuing my journey because I am content with how it makes me feel.
I was skeptical in the beginning as I feared failing. My goal was to just get through that first weekend. Now here I am 30 days later. My journey so far has not been easy. I have felt many emotions. I have cried, laughed, joy, disappointment, fear, etc. All part of the healing process.
I feel like when I was binge drinking, I was in a crystal ball with all the other users. Now, that I am sober I feel like I am on the outside looking in. I see the pain I created for people and how scary that road I was going down was.
I also feel like I am having to learn social skills all over again. Its such a weird feeling being sober on the weekends.
One extra benefit is I have lost 3 pounds. I am not trying to loose weight. Alcholol has alot of sugar and empty calories. Its amazing how much it can affect your health in that way. My next goal is 60 days. Bring it on!
