month

It's been just over 4 weeks since I've had any alcohol and I'm immensely proud of myself for that. I'm also really glad I found this site and grateful to have people here I can connect with and who will understand the situation and can relate.
It's been a bit of a roller coaster emotionally, with the internal conflict of "have a drink/don't have a drink" having gone round my head many times, but I've been strong and feel that I'm on a positive path without alcohol.
I also hope that removing alcohol from my life will enable me to address my issues with anxiety more head on.

I just wanted to share this, and I hope it posts to the forum as I've tried 3 times and it hasn't worked.

thank you all for your support! hope you're all well!

Congrats on four sober weeks, UKstudent.

It is good that you will be confronting and addressing your anxiety with a clear and sober mind.
