Hey Eleanor, I am 8 days sober, too. We're both going to be happy tomorrow morning that we did not drink today or over the weekend!
I got to the point where alcohol was making me miserable more than it made me happy, as I think most of us here have come to realize. My hangovers were getting worse all the time with insomnia, anxiety and panic attacks taking over. I am happy to say goodbye to some of the worst times and feelings of my life.
Welcome!!!
