Howling. This cracks me up.

52 days. Not ready to make any major life decisions but a big one is staring me in the face. I’ve been avoiding things for a long time and drinking made it possible. No pushing it aside now. #RecoveryPosse #sober

“Do you want to know what happened?” ~ my friend when I said I didn’t remember details from the last night we hung out together. I said no. I’m sure it was ugly. Day 51 ending with a whimper. #sober #RecoveryPosse #blackout

51 days sober and hanging poolside, 82 degrees and sunny. I just played 2 hrs of tennis and now I’m wishing my husband could enjoy his Sunday without cracking open a beer. It’s not in any way tempting for me, just annoying and smelly.🤷🏼‍♀️ #recoveryposse #sober

As my husband of 18 yrs leaves the house to help his friend brew 50 gallons of beer, I’m focusing on what we still have in common…that list seems to be shrinking. #married #RecoveryPosse #sober

50 days! Feeling great even though I really want to figure out my whole life immediately…taking it slow and trying to be patient with myself. Be gentle with yourselves 💚💚

49 days. That’s 7 weeks sober. An easier day than most and no social obligations tonight. I’m feeling really grateful. #RecoveryPosse #sober

@selmaca_ She is not here for amateur hour. I would mostly keep up.

48 days. Lunches out are cheaper when you don’t have 2 drinks to celebrate whatever justification for drinking occurred that day. Someone I usually drink with said “I could have 13 more of these” lifting wine glass. Save money, save my health. Win win. #RecoveryPosse #sober

Day 47. The overwhelm is mysteriously gone and now it’s energy and vague excitement. I don’t know if mood fluctuations like this are normal. Life used to be muddied with drinking or being hungover — everything was flat. I’m liking it, but it’s a lot. #RecoveryPosse #sober

Overwhelmed for no reason. I quit my job a few months ago = no more stressful work deadlines. Kids are all at school. I’m sitting here full of anxiety. Not thinking about drinking — but this whole “feeling emotions” thing is ughh. And blargggg. And icccck.

Day 46 sober. I’m procrastinating on everything. Even stupid, small tasks. I just want to ignore the world. I want to avoid myself. Trying to motivate…trying to deal with all those feelings that I used to stamp out with alcohol. #deepbreath #sober

45 days. I’m sometimes over exercising and over eating to keep myself from over thinking but it’s way better than over drinking or under loving myself. Stay with me people, let’s do life sober! #RecoveryPosse

44 days sober - celebrating Mother’s Day without morning mimosas, afternoon drinks at the beach, and evening red wine. Also not blacking out or being hangover.

I *may* have been drinking to make some things tolerable. Things that I should not tolerate. And by things I mean people.

Another sober Friday night feeling like I’m letting my husband down by not being his drinking buddy. The difference this time? I refuse to let myself down and don’t care if he likes it or not. #RecoveryPosse #sober #6weekssober #sofuckingber
