I'm on day 17 and it's just amazing to feel all of my emotions, found myself filling up at "feed the world" Christmas song this morning as I explained it to the kids!!! But I am also getting the amazingly happy emotions, and feel so so so excited for Christmas and being with my family and being alcohol free.

I seem to remember feeling the same when I first stopped smoking. I guess we have decades of conditioning to undo. I also haven't bothered booking dinner out a deux, which I used to love. Somehow there doesn't seem to be any point.... I wonder how long it takes. Glad you're still here T!

I have been to a few of the inevitable summer partys and BBQ's that occur amongst our circle of friends and if I am honest, I am not finding it easy, except that is for the drive home. I feel quite alienated, almost detached, like I see all the social interaction going on around me but I am not totally part of it.<br />I am hoping that this is akin to giving up smoking and these are just trigger events that spawn the want for alcohol and will pass in frequency and severity in time.<br />Have a lovely week. xTallaxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386522171119897358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-34813092514923999282015-07-05T10:12:35.362-07:002015-07-05T10:12:35.362-07:00You're right, sober does sound like we're ...You're right, sober does sound like we're being punished, doesn't it?

Not 100% ok with being me though. Still trying to figure me out. How long do you suppose that takes?
