I’m on vacation from my Florida home visiting my apartment in Egypt where my husband works from in support of helicopters. I’ve been “sober” almost 4 months. My sober is definitely beating the challenge of insomnia and wanting to drink nightly before bed so I can fall asleep. I’ve found my melatonin and occasionally a Benadryl needed too, but I feel a bit guilty because I did go out and have a few glasses of wine on my hubby’s Friday night here. I’ve not had any drunk nights going to bed and I know it’s a personal journey for each of us. I just wish I didn’t feel guilty because I haven’t stayed with zero drinking since I started. I did go a full 3 months but decided it would be a test while here without the temptation of being honest alone and the choice of drinking in Florida. I still feel the effects of not drinking nightly going on and emotionally I think I was really successful at just having those few drinks without getting out of control. I just have to stay true to myself and my goal of never being like the person I was before again.
