ALone tonight and doing well - a first!

[TiredofHiding]

Hi all -

I havent' been on here much - been finding projects for all this new found energy and free time. I am finishing up day 17 AF and feel great. Tonight my husband and daughter are at the annual Father-Daughter dance (so sweet!) and I am home alone. The last three years this has been a night for me to pop a couple of hidden bottles of champagne, pig out and drink and then not remember many of the details they tell me when they get home.
Not tonight. Ok - I still had a favorite dinner treat of mine but no dessert or Al. I'll be bright eyed and ready to hear all about it when they come in. Feels great. When I went out to pick up dinner I realized how weird it felt not to be swinging by the liquor store but patted myself on the back and moved on.

Hope everyone else is having a successful weekend in whatever stage they are.

Life is good.

TOH--
That description of the "before" version sounds very very familiar!! Not remembering any of the details the next morning and having to be very very careful with my questions so that my daughter won't realize that I've lost memory...and the shame! It is dreadful.
Great job, I agree it feels awesome to have a clear head and recall. Last night I attended my oldest's swim meet, then took her to indoor soccer--unbelievable! A Saturday night, completely sober, spending time with my daughter....very rewarding. Keep up the good work Tired!

Thank you all for your encouragement and understanding. This morning I didn't feel like an idiot asking a question I asked last night. I feel like I am giving my family a gift through all of this and THAT makes me very happy.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

That was me too asking the same thing from the night before....wince

Good job 17 days wow especially while alone with takeout food!

I always eat more when I drink. Made pasta last night at 10 pm...after dinner...all because I was drinking wine.

all the best... big hug!!
