Thank you, Daisy. I agree with everything you said. The most important thing right now is for me to stay away from people and situations that will make me want to drink. Unfortunately right now, that also includes my brother - not because he tries to get me to drink, but because he makes me so angry that I feel like I have to drink to calm down.
Daisy, you eluded to this, and I've heard some other people say it - that we need to get some sober time in before we can really start seeing things clearly. I'm talking about the friendships, the severity of the drinking, the whole alcohol thing in society. I've also heard people mention that 30 days is a good milestone for starting to see things in another light. I haven't gone 30 days AF since I was a teenager, and I'm 43 now. Wow, that statement sounds really scary!
Again, thanks for your support. Off to the store to buy some flowers!
