6 month update

[starfairy]

Hi All!
well today is 6 months with no alcohol! feeling fine. we have plans at a friends house tonight and i had to send her a little email to let her know i was on the wagon because she kept talking about all the wine she would have. I just figured i would rather tell her that way than face to face so she could not read my expressions. plus i did not want her to spend extra money on me. She wrote back that she was impressed and that she herself thinks she needs an intervention. if only she knew all the shame i have endured with the dWI she would not feel jealous of my sobriety. i have really not had many urges. i did feel a little sad last night when we were leaving our pool as others were arriving with their coolers to enjoy their friday night. i know i am glorifying it, but i did love hanging out at dusk putting back a few and allowing conversation that i usually save for my own head. i know i woke up without a hangover though as many of them are probably still sleeping it off. I hope to never go back. this life is so much better! :h

Congratulations Starfairy! That is quite an accomplishment. Very proud of you and like the way you let your friend know you weren't drinking. I think there are more that shouldn't be drinking than those who can.

HEY STAR

You are such an inspiration! I am so impressed by your story.

I know what you mean about being a bit wistful about drinking times, but it just takes a little more thought to allow in the awful memories too, and then you go on your way.

Have a wonderful weekend

Congrats Starfairy,

Being hangover, shame and guilt free is 100% more rewarding than a few hours of drinking.

Good for you!!!

Congratulations on 6 months AF! Isn't it funny how many times we hear others admit to needing to "cut back" when we tell them we're not drinking ourselves? I think the problem is bigger than we know. I'm very proud of you!
