Today is 87 days for me... I really can't believe I have made it this long without drinking! I still feel like I am on a journey of self-discovery. I've ventured back into the world of online dating (again) recently, and the process has made me realize how much I need to learn about myself, and how I need to recover the things that I love. The realization that I need to continue to work on knowing myself came from a simple question posed via email from one man asking me "what do you like to do?" While a relatively easy and innocuous question, I struggled to be able to answer it. I realize that the past few years I have been focused on grad school and being a mom. My main hobby consisted of drinking (sad but true). I'm working to find the things that bring me joy and make me happy...trying to adopt healthy habits, and stay out of my head (it's very dangerous in there!).
I'm wondering if any of you had a similar process of discovering yourself in your journey to sobriety?
I have done more soul searching in the last 3 months than in the whole of the rest of my life WCM! I'm hoping I'll be able to move into thinking about something else soon! Huge congrats to you! SM
