@JazzyS I’m ok. A bit exhausted from work. I am 60 days sober today. I’m proud of myself for not giving in to those moments when I thought alcohol would take the edge off. I still need to find a meeting whether it’s in AA or a SMART meeting. I need to look at why I’m hesitant to attend a meeting.

I think on some level that I need to accept the realization that I can’t drink again. Logically I know this but I always enjoyed a good glass of wine. Knowing that I can’t again is something I need to accept.

How are you doing?

Dana congrats on your 60 days of sobriety! You should be rightfully proud of yourself! Maybe try with on line meetings first, so that you can keep camera off and not have to speak until you feel ready. This may help get you motivated for in person meetings?

Did you do something to celebrate your milestone? I do find that a small way to acknowledge your accomplishment helps.

I know its like we are losing a part of ourselves when we quit drinking. Not being able to enjoy the glass of wine when you unwind or a cold beer on a hot day or few shots to get some sleep or 
 once i start going down the rabbit hole of what i cant do with alcohol i realize it is never ending. For me, seeing alcohol as the literal poison was an eye opener. Now i see all that i am able to do and enjoy without that crutch and it feels freeing.

Have you tried any Quit Lit? I really am finding “Quit Like a Woman” to be super helpful.

I am doing better today thank you for asking.
