I wake up in a panic
No desire to start my day
Thinking of last night
Oh God, what did I say?
Do I have an alcohol problem?
I chug a glass of water
On the table beside my bed
I recognize hangover symptoms
Starting with
My pounding head.

I’ve been married over 18 years, so I am not one to give advice on dating.

It is Saturday morning.
I don’t have to get up.
It is 6:30 and still dark out.
I roll around in bed.

My eyes are wide awake.
My body feels mostly good.
Maybe slightly puffy from the sushi last night,...

I am 2 years away from my last drink.
Looking back, I’d love to tell myself then, what I know now.
The biggest lesson would be, that I wouldn't always feel the way I felt.
Getting sober was a process.
I had to go through each phase, before I reached the next.

I heard quitting drinking is a lot like thawing out.
