The scariest part of the day or two after was yesterday, cleaning up after my husband had taken my son to the airport to return to school.
Cleaning up, I opened the downstairs freezer to put something in, and staring me straight in the face was a half bottle of Stoli vodka. I was just so shocked, I slammed the door, opened it again to make sure I wasn't seeing things and then thought some more. My husband wasn't home, all my guests were gone, my younger children were both out. What could a shot or two hurt?It could hurt me, that's who. I didn't do it, and when my husband came home, I told him to get rid of it. I didn't even trust myself to touch it.
It was my son's, or one of his friends--
So, just to keep it therapy-oriented, all those things I learned were valuable. I thought it through, and the immediate relief from the pain wouldn't have been worth the aftermath. I'm kind of used to this sobriety, and I like it and don't want to give it up!
So that's what I mean that for me, the days afterward are often the hardest. But I passed this test...
best to you,
antigua
