Day 8 sober........one day at a time :)

I hope everyone is doing ok this evening. I walked around the lake next to my place this evening. It's a three km walk......I try my best everyday to walk the lake........the fresh air helps me sleep much better.......feeling a little antsy this evening. Not sure why......I only slept for three hours last night due to caffeine overload yesterday........I have been playing the blame game today.........feeling a little sad for my mistakes......part of the process I suppose. Sometimes I wonder why me?....but no time for pity parties. I hope everyone is enjoying another sober day whether it is day one or day one hundred.........take care of u.........

Congrats on 8 days!

I also feel "off" after too much caffeine and not enough sleep.

The lake sounds like a beautiful place to walk! Springtime should be coming soon around here. No need for pity parties -- that part is over and a new life is starting.

Keep coming back and let us know how you're doing!

Make you think that drinking was almost easier, but in reality I have found that it caused me more anxiety than sobriety does. Plus, haven't you noticed that your self-esteem is higher? Overcoming this is something to be very proud of! We didn't choose this, although we are made to feel that way sometimes.
