What a Transformation
Permalink  

Hi all


On friday I posted about my A drinking again and how I was going to do my own thing and keep busy over the weekend, well I spent saturday with my daughter and grandson and it was fab.. I felt confident and in control of my day...Didnt get home till late, well late for me. As soon as I got in I got 40 questions where have you been, who with etc etc. I answered honestly and told him how good it felt to do things for me, and to get away from the hurt that he can cause. He was so suprised I had taken this view of looking out for me rather than him and he also commented on how I looked happy.. that wait for it... he promptly tipped the vodka down the sink and has'nt had any more.. This is a first I just could'nt beleive it.. He says he is going to work his AA steps and if he can be half the person I was on Saturday then he will be happy.......


This is a transformation.. as the drinking would normally go on for at least 3 weeks.  And I would have sat and worried and wallowed in self pity, wondering where I had gone wrong.


This new attitude of mine is only down to all of you who have given me advice, listened to me and given me the strength and belief in myself so thank you all so much.


Biggest hugs to everyone. XXXXXXXXXXX

"Changed attitudes can aid in recovery"   Keep thinking about yourself.  Remember how good you feel now, it will help you thru the low days and keep you striving to keep that serenity.


Thanks for sharing!

YAHOO!!!! So glad you posted about this! It's pretty well what happened to me.(although I could never see HIM pouring the vodka down the drain, lol) I'm soooo happy for you! And I see you're being wise knowing it can end at any time, but after awhile, the eggshells get farther apart. Congrats! Love, TLC
