Day 7

Hello everyone my name is Getbetteragain and I am an Alcoholic. This has been a good week and a hard week at the same time. I have had a biological birthday, first one sober in years, and other things happening in this week for good or ill. I am still dry, no drinks for me! WOOT! The days get better as far as feeling good. Saturday was the only day I felt bad physically. I am hopeful that all physical signs of drinking are on their way out over the coming months and years of recovery. My wonderful better half purchased me a workout routine and I have started it. All in all I have a LOT to be thankful about. God's grace and I will remain thankful and in the right frame of mind. Today the thought of a drink was pretty intense for a few minutes. Reading on here and doing some self reflection and the craving passed rather quickly. Once again, God's grace in action. Thank you all for being here. You are all an inspiration!

Oh, can I get a one week chip??? LOL Some of you will definitely get that! I have no idea if those are even used anymore. I hope to find out tomorrow night here at a local meeting.

Getbetter - 7 days - that's great news!

I like your optimism - you have everything to look forward to. Each day will be a bit better as you heal. I'm glad you joined us - this place saved me.
