Day 17- yippee, Life seems so much sunnier and more content. I was never super unhappy when drinking just more like an over all kind of blah. I was trying to think about how to put it in words how I felt while doing a Spin Class that my daughter dragged me too and here… Continue reading The Descent
Last night wasn’t too bad. I had such a headache on Day 8 that it felt like a hangover, it was a good reminder of what I don’t ever want to feel again. Still tired but that could be because I am going to bed so late helping my daughter etc… My son had a… Continue reading Day 11 2019
