Hi all. I'm new here but my last drink was 10/28 (exactly one week after my 30th birthday). Today is my 14th day sober and I feel really great.
I started drinking at 21 and fell into it pretty hard over the next few years. For some reason I always told myself that no matter how bad it got, I would stop at 30. I always said that. I tried quitting drinking before now with no success, but this time it just feels different. I don't know if I subconsciously programmed myself to do it this way after telling myself that for several years, but I'm here.
I've been having the dreams where I'm drunk and watching myself act stupid, then I wake up thankful it's not true. Out of all of the times I "quit" before (that didn't stick), that just has never happened to me before! It's almost like my mind "knows" this time. I don't know. That probably sounds crazy but I just know I'm done.
I laid in bed, downloading music, watching TV, reading, sober on a Saturday night. And I enjoyed it!
