I didn't want to totally give it up because I couldn't imagine never ever having wine ever ever again. But now, something in my head switched and I really never ever want to drink again. I didn't expect to feel such joy at ridding my life of it. You are a great role model Mrs D because you are so much farther ahead than most of us following you. Its exciting to see how much better your life is in sobriety!!! Yay for all of us!!! (Day 25 here). On a side note: I was thinking this morning, that when I get to 6 wks, I will have officially been sober the longest I have been since my last pregnancy...I have given up alcohol for 3 Lents in a row...so when I get past 40 days...I will have surpassed any dry spells in 13 years!!!! I will be buying myself some kind of present!!!

I've never not had a drink at my childrens' bday party, which means most of their parties became my own little party. <br />I don't want to be that mom anymore. <br />Jen.

Lately, I have thought a couple of times about having a glass...and first I look to see if you, or some other bloggers I follow like Kary Mary, have posted. They always seem to be divine intervention...knowing the choice is mine, but hearing how others not only abstain but enjoy abstaining. So, thanks. That's all. It's not your job to make my decision, but reading about your life - alcohol free - allows me to see that this isn't the end of life. Quite the contrary in fact. So, thank you for sharing...the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens. Without alcohol.<br /><br />LarnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
