Feeling just like you. Proud and thankful to be sober. Iā€™m remembering what its like to feel, see and hear things from a normal state of mind. I still have a bit of lingering alcoholic reactions of my mind, but with the new clarity I can stop and think before I react, saving myself from embarrassing actions. I havenā€™t gone to any drunken parties or situations in a long time. But I totally understand what you feel. Enjoy your sunshine. Have a great day.

@Phoenixfighter @anon35096624 @Fargesia_murielae Thanks for your responses. I REALLY want to start going to meetings but my brother is immunocompromised and I am staying with him and my mom right now. Our internet really sucks so an online meeting
might not work. I will read some Annie Grace tomorrow. That really helped me in the past. As for coming cleanā€¦ ugh idk I HATE disappointing my mom. Her brother (my uncle) just died of alcoholism back in January.

It may disappoint her, but if you really want to help yourself and your family you should be honest. Then you are more accountable. You have to make the tough choices to keep yourself honest. AA statesā€¦ To thine own self be true. You have to take the lead in being your own moral compass. If you really want to help yourself, make the decision to be comfortable being uncomfortable . You can do this. Youā€™ll thank yourself for the rest of your life

ainā€™t that the way though, we walk around all happy and smug with ourselves and no one gets it and then when people arenā€™t acting happy like we are itā€™s like whatā€™s your problem. Thatā€™s what and why we are all here for though bc we do get it and I for one am very proud of you.
It just takes a little time to realise we are not the centre of the universe and we are not that important to everyone, as long as we act important to the people that think we are.

meetings meetings meetings, Iā€™ve finally learnt Iā€™ve got to put some effort into my sobriety, Iā€™ve got to do things Iā€™m not at all happy with but one thing I am sure of is its better than the alternative. :heart::pray:

Sounds like life will be much more peaceful without the family gatherings. Glad your husband is more aware of his drinking, hopefully he will find the blessing of sobriety. Either wayā€¦well done on YOUR sobriety and 50 days!!! Sounds like that was a great reminder of what sobriety offers. :heart:

Thank you :heart:
Iā€™m not a fan of family gatherings at all. But itā€™s like mandatory, family is everything to the gypsy culture. Iā€™ve just got to that point where I prefer the peace that comes without it. Iā€™ll still meet the family just not alla at once, and no big gatherings.
