I’m feeling good about 76 days sober. But I’m nowhere near where I need to be.
Maybe this is just how sober life IS. I bob along fine, until a small ripple catches up with me, and I think ‘oh yea, I never dealt with all that stuff…no wine to cope stuff down feelings….what happens next? Help?!’
Is that just life?
And then suddenly, I feel all calm and relaxed again… That stuff is still there, still needs my attention, but I feel calm. I love being sober. Life feels new but comfortable, yet challenging and rewarding. I want to do my best at everything.
Sometimes I don’t have the energy to do everything I feel I should be doing… and sometimes there aren’t enough hours in the day. I haven’t got an Action Plan, like I wanted. The heavy stuff is still heavy. But now I get to put it down and have a rest every now and then.
I want to let the heavy things go. That’s where I want to be.
I want to be my best version of me. I want to be loved, and to love, as that person. Nothing more, nothing less.
It helps immeasurably to know that I’m not alone 🙂
