I'd never thought about the view out of my window before. I didn't have any view when I was drinking but i can see one now. Thank you for reminding me to look out.

I really like my view out my clean window, though.

But for me.....I'm kind of embracing the solitude of what I'm doing. I really do know what a big thing this is, what I am accomplishing. That's enough for me. And no one else is going to 'get it'...so why let them in to my enjoyable secret? (I have mentioned that I told my daughter..but a sentence or two and we moved on...again, dont know if my kids were concerned, but I don't know if they had any idea of HOW MUCH I was consuming...)Northwoman1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/09855277712359787495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562529066027046102.post-4119723341781925972016-05-19T09:03:25.471-04:002016-05-19T09:03:25.471-04:00Oh this is a hard post to read.

Any form of injury to my children would put my sobriety at severe risk. As for isolation, it seems that a lot of us feel that. If only we all lived in the same town. Some are exploring meetings soon. I plan to try one over the summer. You are so not alone. We're all here.

If anything happened to them it would be far worse.' <br /><br />I understand the isolation thing. I've wrestled with it too, as you know. I've been coming out gradually, which - like getting sober - is hard, but good too....

So sad. I can't imagine what there view is outside their window. It will never be the same again. Does your husband know you have quit? Can you talk to him about it? I know what you mean about being lonely. I feel it too. Congrats on day 102! A xAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553400229726508527noreply@blogger.com
