Always great to read your posts Casey.
For all interested....my update...
9 May 2015 was when I decided to stop. Was using 8 May as my day, but that night was my last night drunk.
On vacation this week. Trying to put in some extra time working out and sleeping.
Going to have a staycation at a local casino. Good food, swimming, poker tournament. No booze.
I look around to see who is drinking now. I find strength when I see folks like me who are enjoying water or other non alcoholic beverages. I am a bit envious and curious about folks I see drinking. I wonder how many they will have. Maybe just 1, but that never made much sense to me. I would just get sleepy after a single drink.
For those like me, I know they are going to be weak, dehydrated, and regretful soon.
After 3 months clean I am still healing. I have more energy than before. I am still getting used to never being drunk or hungover. After all the years drinking, my brain is getting such a release. I work out fairly hard, so I am never sure if I feel bad from no booze or from working out.
I have anxiety here and there. But, it goes away quickly. Usually, with a few deep breaths. Thanks internet.
Still eating cleanish. Taking a mult vit. Lots of water.
Been post, reading SR daily. Trying to be careful to not get to preachy. I am doing great, but I am very vulnerable for ever. I read a bunch of stories here about that. 1 day at a time. God help me please.
When I do post I usually regurgitate what I read somewhere else and add that it worked for me.
Thanks to whoever put this site together. You are a saint.
