For the first few weeks...almost the first month, I felt amAZEing! I was perky and cheerful and felt like I could take on the world. But now, 1 month and 3 days in... (thud). I feel like I’ve hit the pavement. This past work week has been a heavy-duty one. And because I am the …
I find myself going back and forth between why I decided to take this break... and the thought that perhaps I’m hitting a nail with a sledgehammer. When I was talking to my bestie last night, she mentioned that she typically has 1 - 2 glasses of wine a night, 5 days a week...most people …
Yesterday, I had my first in-person customer meeting since January. Which was weird but fantastic! And it was a good meeting...so that was great! I arrived earlier than our customer and told my Account Manager, who was perusing the wine bottles, that I did not want this to be a drinking lunch. That the customer …
I woke up relatively early this morning with weird dreams, but then fell back asleep. During my dream, I was at some kind of work-related conference. I can’t tell if I was drinking or not, but most people were definitely drunk around me and I just remember this feeling of chaos and trying to ‘right’ …
Today is day 30 - in some ways it’s been wayyyy easier than the first time I did 30 days, and in other ways it’s been a lot more difficult. Things that made it easier this time: De-alcoholised wine and non-alcoholic spiritsSupport of friends from afarTelling people what I was doingThe fact that I actually …
Yesterday ended up being an overly social day. I say ‘overly’, as by the end of it I was exhausted and could barely keep conversation going. I just wanted to go home and be alone and rest. It started off with coffee with a guy I’d been on a coffee date with a few months …
Day 28 - yesterday was not easy. A couple weeks ago, I had so much energy...and was in love with the world. This past week, I’ve been tired and stressed...and felt like I was dragging through the week. Yesterday, some of the anxiety started coming back...and also thoughts of ‘I don’t really need to do …
“It doesn’t really matter who you used to be, what matters is who you’ve become.” That was today’s motivational quote on my Sober Time app. Day 27 - 3 days left till I’ve done a month. It’s funny, as I was thinking about exactly that yesterday. Now that my brain doesn’t have that very light …
It’s interesting....lately I’ve been dreaming a lot about being in social situations and not drinking. It seems to be a theme which I guess is normal as it’s something I think about while I’m awake. What’s funny though is that I don’t ever recall dreaming about drinking. But now I’m having loads of teetotaler dreams. …
I seem to be back to being up at 6:30, which today had the advantage of enjoying a little moon bath as it’s still full and was still high in the sky when I quietly padded out to the living room with my coffee. As I sat in the glow of the moon, I did …
