48 Hours

Day two! It feels like I've conquered the world, and nothing at the same time. It's a great thing to wake up with no hangover... this is the feeling I need to remember when I want to pick up a drink.

Think I'm gonna go get a haircut to celebrate.

Stick with it, and if treating yourself to something nice helps then do what works for you. Way to go on 2 days!

Congrats on 2 days, The earliest days are the hardest physically, the hard mental days come later, I hope you are working some sort of program and not trying this alone, white knuckling it is sheer misery that never ends.

Good on you :0) Rewarding yourself seems like a very good idea. I'm a day behind you, we can do this one day at a time!

Good work, Sunrise!

Sobriety is worth it. Feeling clear and free from the bondage of an addiciton is an amazing thing. Run with the ball!

I found that my worst day sober is better than my best day drinking. When things get bad, I remind myself that "this too shall pass". I feel good more often than I feel bad now. When I feel bad, I take comfort in the fact that "at least I'm sober".

Keep at it. It gets better and better.
