9 days
I've been nine days without alcohol and am feeling better every day. My problem is boredom. I have been reading voraciously and cooking more, but those "happy hour" hours are the ones that get me! I will say I am relieved to not be drinking. I drank for 39 years, almost every day, and if I wasn't drinking, I was too hungover to drink. I've decided once and for all that I am done, but even then I had to go on Antabuse, which is the only thing that's ever kept me sober this long. I have relatively little cravings, since I know I will get violently ill (and for two weeks after the last pill), and hope to learn how to just BE in life without alcohol before I go off the antabuse. Just wanted to post something for the first time, because I think I will be coming to this website a LOT.
