I have been without a drink for many days and find that staying honest with myself becomes increasingly hard. I spend a lot of time 'skirting issues' when I know the answers and do not want to take the action to the solution. Any sober folks out there?
"Rigorous" honesty is hard and I'm comin' up on two years....I lived in such a fantasy land of unreality while drinking and using for 28 years....I'm just now starting to really get some clarity and see what really is up, what my life is about, etc...it is hard to swallow at times, but truly much better than being drunk and high.
Hi VW Girl,
Glad you decided to join me. I read your post from earlier today and thought, gosh I am one of 'those'. Years ago I was one of 'those' (drunks). Now I am sober and the issues are different. At times I feel really burdened with staying in a marriage that has been 'worn out'. I got married early in soberity and it has been one thing after another.
I also have a new career and am now having a devil of a time getting motivated to hussle.

Hi Jam, What post were you referring to of mine? How much time do you have? I'm assuming several years. I got married while still active in my disease....it is so hard to come to the realization that things might have been different if I only woulda...woulda, shoulda, coulda - but I'm sober today and that's what counts! I'm glad you are posting, this forum is not too active.
