110 hrs

Well I'm off for the weekend. Even though I am basically talking to myself, I think blogging is helping me work through all this in my mind. I joined women of sobriety today. I was going to order the starter packet, but the shipping was 15.95! I'm hoping to find it available on my kindle instead. I'm hoping it will help give me direction and some wisdom for this whole "sober living" thing. This weekend is going to be hard. There is beer and whiskey at the house, and I know my husband will be drinking. I'm going to give it 110% though, and really try to resist the cravings :X I can do this? I can do this!~

  1. Hi Mary, sweetheart. What you are doing is a very brave thing. You are going to have a lot of false starts and that's ok. The important thing is that you want to change. Keep that light on and nothing will resist you. Your intentions are good, therefore, God and the whole universe will conspire to help you win. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Being sober is about valuing yourself. Rekindling your self-worth. Finally wanting to see life unfiltered by alcohol. It's about being AWAKE in your own life, being ALIVE and not a walking dead. All the best love. Please surround yourself with people who support your effort not people who frustrate it. Love to you, blessings my dear, journey well. This is about you, wanting a better quality of life.
