Hi all. Today is my 7th day without drinking! Exactly one week ago I was throwing up outside bar at about this time. Came off a 4 day bender and was thought I was dying. It was a personal low for me. It's amazing what a week of no drinking and going to meeting, and posting on this site can do.

I have a loooong way to go and definitely need to start working the program, but I feel like I am in such better mental shape than I was a week ago. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

I am not going to drink tonight!

Thanks. It's 6:15 am and I'm not hungover!! I am going to a 7am meeting before work today. I hope everyone has a good day. My plan for the.... to go to any length to not drink. I will not do it today.

yeah just keep reminding yourself how awesome it feels to wake up not feeling hung over. that was the best part of recovery and for me still is. waking up rested, not tossing and turning in a hot alcoholic sweat. Then just noticing all the small things you normally miss while being hungover through out the day. The way things smell the air on your face, not having stomach trouble or feeling exhausted all day. Such a great feeling being sober.
