15 Days Today / Update

[thankx44m]

I have had a few very appreciative notes checking on me the last couple of days. I am on Day 15 and doing well overall. I have really been busy with work and kids so not a lot of time to contemplate which is good. I have attended about 5 meetings total so far which is really not enough, but I have a great sponsor and several supportive friends checking in on me frequently.  Physically I am feeling pretty good also. I'm not waking up sweating every morning. I am up and down emotionally and I can feel just a hint of depression but I think it is nothing that is abnormal for my situation. It is the feeling of something missing which are the drugs and alcohol.  They have been apart of my life for over 20 years and dictating it for about 15. The latest DOC being Hydros and alcohol. The old saying of Just For Today is so true. I don't have to worry about sobriety for tomorrow but just for right now. I am having a difficult time adhering to this but I see why it is so important. Yesterday I turned 40 and had a sober Bday party. It was really nice. The first one I can actually remember in a long time. Thanks for listening!
