Never was past three days before, at least not that I can remember!! My first weekend sober. Actually got a ton of work done. This holiday weekend will be my first one sober since forever. And according to my calculations I'm $56 richer than if I'd still be drinking!!

Thanks for the support. I can tell my body has a lot of healing to do. I am drinking water like mad, but also passing it too. I suppose I am in the process of detoxing.

My weight is holding steady. Initially I lost a few pounds. I think I am holding onto some water weight at this point due to the huge fluid intake. I am exercising more so maybe in time the weight will drop.

I'm in the process of confessing my transgressions to those I have hurt, those I have deceived, as well as rebuilding my reputation. It will all take time.

Congrats :$ . I'm just finishing day 3. Feels good just to have a clear head. I find that doing the things I used to enjoy while drinking I still enjoy even more, plus I'm better at them. Such as my music playing

Congrats! On top of mental and physical health benefits you'll be amazed (and and mad at yourself) when you realize how much money you've been spending on alcohol.

Good work! Keep it up

The money is a fantastic bonus...I'm at 2 months, that's about £600 saved. What a ridiculous amount of money to be throwing away!
