Its 2008 now and I have been sober 8 days. I feel scared alot of times, driving home from work last week I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin, the anxiety I felt was overwhelming, it felt as though I would "blow up" or something. I got home took a shower, a melatonin (natural sleep aid, I work nights and was arriving home to get some sleep) and thankfully fell asleep and got through it. I have to tell you that I read your posts that morning as I do daily now and it is through your shared stories and sincere caring that I find encouragement to move forward or as I like to say "soberly party on..."
That was me, there is a new me now and you are now my new friends, even more than friends, you are my support and gateway to embrace a new me, a new life and I hope that I can return that favor to each and every one of you.
(by the way, DiscoBunnie is a dumb name I know, but I was dubbed that by my famiy once when one of my drunken actions caused me great humiliation and embarassment, it helps me remember why I should NOT drink!) Thanks for listening and caring. I look forward to getting to know you better
