Welcome Helene! We have all had a Day 0. I have had many. I’ve found lots of non-judgmental support and encouragement on this forum, and it has made a huge difference. Stick around! I’m sure you won’t regret it

149 days no alcohol… I feel physically and mentally so much stronger. Emotionally not so much. I don’t really wanna get into it but just hate how crazy my emotions can get and consume me. This is something I continue to work on. I need better boundaries. Sometimes you allow yourself to be vulnerable and that’s ok; it’s when you set expectations… that the disappointment and hurt come. I know this too is just another part of my journey and will make since in the end. Life is good. I am blessed.
I definitely believe that a lot of us think and feel deeper than the average person. As much as I’ve wanted to, it’s something that I haven’t been able to change in sobriety. Our feeling still get hurt, we still get sad, we over think & we do it all sober. We also cry when we hear good music, see good movies, we love more fiercely & we offer the very best of ourselves to those we care about. I wouldn’t change any of this about me & no matter how many times I get hurt, I’ll continue to do it!
Keep being who you are @Dragonflygirl82. You’re doing your very best every day!
I’m at 38, so right there with you. We will get there!
