I Wasn't High!!!!

Just wanted to share a milestone with you all. Its a big deal to me, anyways. Last night I went to my neice's birthday party. In the past the only way I would of attended a family function was if I had a Huge stash of Oxy's to get me through it.
Well lastnight, I went to the party, Without the help of any oxy's. I actually enjoyed myself. I got myself ready, followed through with my obligation and me and my 5yr old daughter made it there, I actually had FUN.
It was amazing, to know I wasnt completely smashed but yet I was enjoying myself?? WOW Such an amazing feeling, just wanted to share.
jody,

thats so awesome, isnt it amazing how fun life is when you are sober? and you dont have to wake up feeling like crap or worry and have anxiety about if someone knows your secret and all that other crap. i love going to outings now and proving myself to people that i am a changed woman and the best part is people still like me just the way i am. congratulations and it gets easier and easier everytime. keep living life and enjoying. you deserve it : )

Jody,

Girl I sooo know how you feel. I am the same way. Everytime there is an "event" or even to just go over to my Mother in law's house, I feel like I need something to get me through it. Last night I decorated the house and put up my christmas tree all by myself without drugs. I enjoyed it so much, I really had a good time and was sad when I was done...
I am however still struggling with other things. My brother in law is taking a bunch of us to the mountains 16-18 and the first thing I though was 'oh no what am i gonna do so I can actually be able to have fun"
I would love to follow your progress. I wish you all the luck in the world, stay strong and hold on.
