Cravings/thoughts still come -- maybe even every day -- but it's getting easier to ride them out and dismiss them.

The positive emotional and physical changes multiply. It seems ridiculous to consider giving that up for the fleeting, hollow "satisfaction" of drinking, which actually came down to a daily build-up to just a first sip. It wasn't even "fun" after that. It was just poison in disguise.

Squandering my connection and time with my family, my interests, my health, my looks, my self respect for a lie.

The day is clearer, mornings are bright and hopeful, I feel 10 years younger.

Hope this helps someone.
