One Year on Medium and Two Years Sober Today
My Mediumversary and Soberversary share the same date
It took everything in me to not start a draft about this day. It’s been on my mind for the past few weeks. I wanted to wait until the morning of this special and important day to accurately document how I felt.
Plus, I don’t have any drafts.
I’ll start with sobriety
It’s the most important thing to me. It has to be. Without it, I wouldn’t have anything good that is happening in my life.
On January 6th, 2021, I had my last drink. I couldn’t tell you what the drink was because I was in a self-induced alcohol fog from the 4th-6th. It could have been beer, wine, or vodka.
Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter. Alcohol is alcohol.
I wrote about the events leading up to these last few days. After I got home and nursed my pounding hangover with more wine, I woke up to my husband telling me to get out of the room. Our daughter was still doing school on Zoom and had to be in our office.
I migrated to our spare bedroom and stayed there for 2 days. All I can remember is drinking the rest of the wine that we had, and the rest of the beer, and I found out how to order alcohol from my phone.
