Having said that, I'm so glad I've finally given it a go - it feels like a burden has been lifted and I already feel so much better - clear headed, energetic, free! Mrs D has shown me the way and kept me going!

Have read my way through all of you...20 days sober. Have read my way through all of your blog history and listened to the blog radio clip. You are an inspirational writer and speaker! I am in my early 50's and have drunk alcohol all the way through my adult life, apart from pregnancies. I have drunk less as I have got older but I have always drunk habitually, if not necessarily excessively. Fed up with alcohol disrupting my sleep, and too many Sundays - mostly - lost to hangovers, I woke up 20 days ago as though a light bulb had pinged on in my head- FINALLY!!- and it dawned on me that I do not have to drink! Is there anyone else out there like me? Not absolutely hammering the bottle every night, but concerned that a lifelong habit has been ingrained without really thinking about it?FinallyDawnednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-48468141208522423512014-05-22T15:07:10.154+12:002014-05-22T15:07:10.154+12:00I am a recent follower and 8 weeks sober.

It is a great reminder that so re is the way we are supposed to be and that we have everything that we need to live a full life in that state.

Every time I visit your blog I leave feeling happy and motivated. <br /><br />I also love the idea that sobriety is the natural state for we humans. The image that the alcohol industry sells is a pile of crap and the fact that they are just making money off of us is infuriating! I was talking about this the other day with my fiancé. I refuse to buy into this any longer. I don't know what I will put in its place but I'm not participating any longer. <br /><br />Thank you for the wise words and the sober thinking. At 28 days sober (for the 3rd time) I need to be reminded that life is full of possibilities if only we are present. It just seems like such a rosy future, why would we chose any other way? <br /><br />You rock Mrs. D.

It can be easy to squelch what's really happening, but for me being aware is essential in making the deep changes that need to be made in this getting sober gig. It's uncomfortable, but it's necessary. Talking to myself, honestly, is super hard, and it's sometimes ugly, but it's helping, and that's what matters. That as well as spotting the lies about alcohol--and they're everywhere. Hmm, if you're right about so many things, maybe when winter comes back to this hemisphere, I'll see about getting that onesie! xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.com
