WWS, big congrats on 3 months

The longer I am sober the more comfortable, relaxed and happy I feel. Of course there are still down days (had one yesterday) but there aren't as many and they usually don't go as far down as they used to. And I'm no longer spending my time on thinking about drinking, debating with myself, getting the bottle and drinking/uninterested in doing anything fun or worthwhile, trying to remember not to pick up the phone when it rings and I was slurring my words, etc.

When I think about it, I wasted an enormous amount of time on drinking - whether actually drinking or thinking, planning, and recovering from same. It's no wonder I felt lost about how to spend my time and live my life without alcohol!
