Secretly Sober

When my husband decided not to drink in preparation for his operation I felt a sense of relief. If I’m being 100% honest with myself I’ve wanted to do this for a while. 

I’d been given this wonderful reason to stop drinking. 

Doing it together has been great because we can talk about what we‘ve been experiencing. 

Poo has featured more in our conversations than I care for.

Sleep has been amazing.

My skin looks fantastic.

Zero indigestion.

Waves of contentment.

Moments of euphoria.

One month in and we are feeling good. We’ve told our parents we aren’t drinking because we need him to go into this operation as healthy as possible and I’ve told my best friend but I haven’t told anyone else.

We are secretly sober. 

It appears we have been experiencing the pink cloud. While this is a term used by Alcoholics Anonymous it is fitting to use because the moments of euphoria have come unexpectedly and in waves.

It’s like being high on life. 

I know this sounds utterly ridiculous, my senses are alive and it feels wonderful.

Namaste
