      Thanks Cindi and Jo.
      Jo, I thought I would never be able to socialise again. I think the key is dont put pressure on yourself. I did at first and it was hard. Then a couple of successes have changed my outlook totally.

      Cindi, you are so right, the possibilities of a sober life are endless!

        I love that regardless of the problems and trials of everyday, they are no longer compounded by nights of drinking and the shame, self-loathing and all the rest that follows it. I am learning to face the world without the cloud of alcohol and it feels kind of freeing, if that makes sense.

            Well put Mtn

            It's not all sunshine and roses for me being AF but its a hell of a lot better than when I was knocking back the wine night after night after night after night....

                Murphy: This is the other thread I was telling you about. It's very positive. Yes, it's good to remember the bad things about being drunk. That takes the romanticism out of drinking...wine & roses so to speak. This is just great stuff too. Mary

                    Well, its only Day 6 this time, and I have been feeling really low, BUT....

                    I like that I am clear in the morning and up early. I may not have always had a hangover, but I was very 'cloudy' and 'foggy'. Now I am up and thinking and reading and trying to face whatever is there that's been hiding because I pushed it down with everyday wine.

                    I REALLY like that I am not hiding any bottles! I think there might be a couple to retrieve and get rid of, but I am not emptying any more. I did that just to reduce the number going in the trash that would get handled by hubby. He hasn't said anything yet about no bottles in the trash, but he should notice at some point I would think.

                    So that's two improvements for me for today - yippee!

                        This thread is the best! So much is so close to home. Really encouraging. I'm going to read it often and try to remember always!!
                        Thanks, Doggy, this was it exactly.

                          i also love sleeping better and waking up clear headed without the fog or cloud of AL. no headaches in the a.m. & i no longer have to rush to the recycle place every sat so my husband wont see all the empty bottles.
