Friday Night

Last night was a good night. Met up with a bunch of friends and went to see my favorite sports team. Got happy and rowdy and didn't drink a drop. It felt really good. The best part was driving home. I just kept thinking how great it was to be sober. Completely aware, in control, yet still having fun.

I know demons are still in my head, though. Sometimes I want shots all lined up so I can take them one after another. I didn't even drink shots(often...) when I drank but I just want the alcohol so badly. I am still scared I am going to fail, but I am commited to believing in myself.

If my last interview goes well on Tuesday, I will be starting a new job within in a couple weeks. I believe that will bring a lot of positive momentum to my life and my goals.

Re: Friday Night

that's great! I knew you would have a good time. you just have to get "used" to being sober. you have to actually change your way of living. you don't know what it's oike to go out and have fun "sober". So, give it a chance. you'll love it. I'm not a drinker myself....(was when I was younger) Now, I could care less about it. I dont need anything to make me sleeppy...LOl...

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you~~~

Re: Friday Night

Heya Shineon

Each day I feel like I am getting closer to myself : )

That is exactly what is happening, Shine! You are learning what you are all about, how you fit into life happily. I know this is going to be such a time of discovery for you. All those little things we heard growing up take on a new importance and magnitude. For me, a big one is "to thine own self be true." I honestly lost grip on being true to myself. Stuck my head in the sand with what was happening to me. being clean now, I think so much more clearly, I think more thoughtfully if that makes sense. I am much more conscious of what I am thinking and it helps me in choices.

Keep going strong! While I never used drugs to have fun, I am having a lot more fun not using them. I laugh again... loud and hearty... and it is such a good, natural, real feeling. And the laughing and fun makes me feel better and better.

Good for you, Shine, GOOD FOR YOU.
