Glad to hear it FABL! One day at a time, and today was a victory

Welcome Eliasson - I don't post much, but keeping tabs on the 'class' threads has helped me a great deal in my attempts at sobriety, especially early on - I hear a lot of myself in what others are saying.

Ending day 8 here, week 1 came and went without much fanfare. This time around I'm finding myself surprised how little I'm actually craving alcohol. I think about sobriety/alcohol many times during the day (had a dream last night that I'd broken my sobriety), but so far I haven't been foaming at the mouth. The depression is pretty persistent, and I've been staying up obscenely late at night, but physically my anxiety is all but gone, mentally it's down drastically. Seeing as that's the most debilitating thing alcohol was doing to me, that's something to be pretty happy about. I lied to myself for so long about what created my generalized anxiety - it's the alcohol, stupid!

Wishing everyone another successful night or day
