Well guys I have made it! In 2 days I would have been totally clean from alcohol for 2 months. Wow I am so proud of myself! You know there were a couple of times when I have called AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) over the years, the thing is that, it was always hard for me to think of myself as an alcoholic because I have been so functional and would only drink once or twice a week (until my best friend passed away)! My mum actually told me about Hello Sunday Morning about 2 months before I decided to do the program.

In three days time I will have been completely sober for 1 whole month. I am so proud of myself! Without drinking I have had such a clear mind and have been dealing with my emotions in so much more of a positive way. I have also grown a lot more respect for myself. Not drinking has been helping me understand why I have made a lot of the bad decisions and has even helped me understand how and why my drinking got so bad. There was a man who I was with about 10months ago. We were together for two and a half years. In the beginning he cheated on me, and even though we broke up I got back together with him two weeks later, more so because my self esteem had been damaged by him doing this and it somehow made me feel good about myself that [...]
