This feels very much like a good thing. I'm glad to hear you're in a good place. Still hope to hear from you, but mostly just glad you shared your experience with everyone. Your message is one of great strength, hope and honesty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-5650249947381554702012-07-02T04:44:54.671+12:002012-07-02T04:44:54.671+12:00Mrs D . .

Averaging a bottle a night, sometimes less, sometimes more. Would do deals with myself over which nights I could binge and which I'd go easy ('coz I'd like to go to the gym the next day'). From the outside it seemed like a socially acceptable normal-if-not-a-little-enthusiastic drinking habit. But I knew differently, that on the inside it was very very dysfunctional and becoming more so with every passing year. I was obsessed with wine."<br /><br />Ditto!<br /><br />Congrats on the victories: moral, spiritual and even intellectual!

Your honesty us what does it...you put it all out there and that is so wonderful! <br /><br />I would so miss you if you wrap it up but I would understand. I've been thinking lately that it may be time to move to a different type of blog so I don't have to focus on my alcoholism so much...we'll see. I'll know when it's time and so will you.<br /><br />Selfishly I hope you wait until your one year anniversary so we can all celebrate with you!SoberMomWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845259535764391849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-17572699829549654922012-06-30T23:52:38.776+12:002012-06-30T23:52:38.776+12:00Hi, girlie.

The days that we wake up and just get on about our business are the days that we know we've made the right choice. No fireworks or anything. Just day to day ordinariness.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-22091857492042301142012-06-30T22:16:02.668+12:002012-06-30T22:16:02.668+12:00That sounds very healthy Mrs D, a symptom of recov...That sounds very healthy Mrs D, a symptom of recovery.

You never sound like a whiner to me, just always honest and real. I do understand however when you say that sober is becoming the new norm for you and thus there is less new stuff to write about. Again, although I am way behind you in time done, this feels like a very healthy response. If you do "wind this up", please consider writing about other things. Its not just your stories of sobriety I enjoy, but your honest approach to yourself that is truly remarkableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-86890378915274740422012-06-30T16:18:09.988+12:002012-06-30T16:18:09.988+12:00Well done, Mrs. D!

Learning to feel and tolerate feelings is so crucial. Who would have ever thought sobriety was about that??? I never saw that coming. I thought I was perfect except I drank too much! Ha!<br /><br />And how about all those weddings sober? Bravo! It can be done and you are proof!<br /><br />XOOctober O Ninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973881662297182818noreply@blogger.com
