Accomplishment, Requirements
Lots of hard work. The willingness to keep going "all in" over and over and over again, even when numbed. To be able to wake up an go back in to the exclusion of all else.
I read some of your posts 20 days ago..which is the last time I picked up a drink of alcohol. I didn't think I'd make it to 20 days but I have. I've gone through many days and nights of constant headaches and dizziness but I feel I'm starting to think more clearly and feel happy. Now I know I can do this and keep going. No more wine nights or tipsy tuesdays. I'm 34 and the past 10 years of my life have been filled with blacked out nights, waking up on my living room floor, eating whatever I could find in the fridge at 4 am then stumbling to work late still smelling like cheap chardonnay. Everyone around me now has shown me tremendous support and have noticed how happier I look. I don't know where I found this strength but I found it. Thanks for the inspiration!
