Thank you everybody for helping stick with it yesterday. It turned out to be a great day and today is going good too.
I haven’t talked to my husband yet (he’s still at work) about me being sober and I still feel pretty nervous about it. I’m on the fence if I will tell him tonight or not. Sooner or later I know he will bring it up because I’m sure he has noticed that I haven’t been drinking and that’s really out of the ordinary.
Be gentle with yourself when you feel pressure, or conflicted. Take it one step at a time and remember the only thing that matters is staying healthy for yourself. You can access whatever support or companionship you need, here or in other sobriety spaces, to help you day-to-day.
Another thing that’s helped me is realizing that often my worries about how others will react are bigger than the actual problem (usually they didn’t think it was nearly as big as I did).
