I know exactly what will happen if I take a drink-it's happened every time before. Going to AA during my normal drinking hour has helped. I haven't made many other improvements in my life other than not drinking. The successful people on this forum adapt other activities and change behaviors. I'm lacking there. I've been to the gym twice but can't seem to get motivated to make it a habit. I feel bad because I'm not changing much else. My sleep pattern has gotten a little better. Some mornings I wake up at a decent hour. Reading about others relapses scares me but I think also helps.

I've been taking some B vitamins but they don't seem to have much effect.

I do feel and look better. Very grateful for 24 days of sobriety.
