Sober D, great job on 8 days, and getting through the weekend.
I was counting days for about the first 90 days, then started counting months, I hit one year on January 1st, and now I am in a rhythm and feel good about life,many sobriety.
My drinking took place ,mainly at home, so I needed to change my routines im the evenings. I spent lots of time with my kids, going for walks, reading, baths... I fell into a new pattern, and it is rare that drinking crosses my mind now.
You should check in with us on the 24 hour thread, it is a great place to make the commitment to remain sober for the next 24 hours, and also to meet some great people.
