Hi, All.
Last week on Monday, I wrote in that I was DONE drinking, after having spent yet another night with my head in the toilet. I showered that day thinking to myself, "I have the power to make this never ever happen again. I never again have to feel this headache, this woopsy stomach, this general over-all body pain. Never again. Starting right now." And I meant it, and I still do mean it.
But, only a short two days later, I come down very sick with the norovirus - stomach flu - intestinal bug, whatever you want to call it. And where am I? Back with my head in the toilet. For DAYS. Even when I was being so sick, I kind of was laughing to myself... okay, so much for no woopsy stomach! I used this week-long experience as a complete reinforcer... WHY in the WORLD would anyone choose to feel this way? And yet for so many years, that is exactly what I did.
So, now, I am somewhat on the mend. Can't get off the couch yet, but at least I am not running to the bathroom. But I am still laughing at myself... and even more motivated to never feel this way again.
Thanks, everyone. Your support is so important.
