I had a great weekend with my boyfriend and he went back home earlier this evening. As I was home alone, a little bummed about him leaving and the weekend coming to an end, it occurred to me that this was a moment I would typically drink to numb the sadness and lonliness. Instead, I've had a really nice evening cleaning my apartment, cooking a yummy dinner, doing some reading and getting ready for the week. Still feeling that sadness and lonliness but also so thankful I'm at a point in my sobriety where I can be okay with feeling those feelings without numbing them. I am greatful to know that the feelings will pass, and I'll still be sober when they do
