| The biggest shock of all of this is being committed to being sober this long. I imagined when I began this that getting sober would force me to deal with my issues, and by dealing with my issues, I'd suddenly be this extroverted, happy person- accomplishing everything I was to afraid to attempt before. Yeah... That's not happening. Maybe I am still in the "dealing with my issues" stage. It's hard and not pretty. I also assumed I'd get sick less. That hasn't been the case. I've had all kind of colds, flus, infections- ugh. I thought I'd be so much healthier when I stopped drinking. I know I keep complaining, but I thought I'd have my shit figured out once I was sober this long. Silly, I know. But I thought that. #justbeinghonest | |

You know what's been hardest this week? Avoiding alcohol. I've wanted to drink so badly. I'm honestly shocked I haven't had some of my husband's wine (he makes his own) or bought a bottl at the store. I've just been depressed lately. It's funny how the first few days are challenging, but the motivation is there, so you can just power-through it. The last few days have felt so much harder and discouraging despite my little successes. It's like nothing I do ever feels good enough. And then I hate feeling like that so I just want to drink the bad feelings all away. Forget all my problems and all the things that make me sad. Forget that my parents have health problems and that my sister abandoned our family a year a half ago (God, it hurts so bad). Forget all my insecurities. Forget all my failures. Forget all the pain and sadness happening in the world. I feel so afraid to leave my house, talk to people, have real friendships, and go out and do things. I am so afraid of being rejected. I am so afraid of bad things happening that I hide and isolate. And that makes me want to drink even more. To forget that I am so afraid of everything and give me that liquid courage and confidence. And the fact that I feel like I need to drink just to have a conversation with anyone makes me feel so shameful. Why am I such a loser?! Ugh. I guess the reality is, not being able to use my go-to's for numbing my thoughts and feelings, brings up the real, hard, and painful issues and puts them right smack-dab in the middle of my face. And I guess I am having to deal with them now and I just don't know how to. I'm proud of myself for not drinking when that's all I can think about doing in order to shake off these bad feelings, but I can't really feel or enjoy that pride of alcohol abstinence when I feel so much sadness, fear, and shame when I am sober. Hoping that my next week feels more confident and at peace than these last few days... |
