Feeling sparkley Hi everyone. Now coming to the end of sober day 4. So far so good: Slurred speech- gone Upset stomach- gone Slight shakes- gone Concentration- coming back every day Self respect- returning Fatigue- still a feature, but not as bad!! It's very tempting to go back. Cravings are just that, temptation. But the new mantra is "did I like myself when I drank? Did I feel good after I drank? The answer to both questions are no. So I will stay sober today." |
Wow! That's a pretty impressive list for just 4 days sober. I guarantee that the longer you stay sober, the better you'll feel. I can't wait to see your list after 4 weeks, 4 months, etc! |
:hug: you are amazing Sammy x |
Great to see you so positive on Day 4, Sammy. :) |
That's great to hear Sammy, congrats on 4 days. :grouphug: |

Thanks guys!! I just watched that Louis Theroux "Drinking to Oblivion". The one younger guy was 32 like me. He had it all and he clearly had lost it. Poor man. Well his life has been a warning. I have warned my friends that when they come to London and if we go to the pub, for me it will be a lime and soda. Hopefully though we can just go to a restaurant or something and have a few non alcoholic drinks, as I don't want to be around pubs especially. Plus restaurants mean one thing...the excuse to have ice cream ;) |

The longer you stay sober, the better it gets. :) |
Sammy you're AWESOME. ..one day at a time man. Trust me, it works! |
You already know it only gets worse if you continue to drink. Guaranteed! But the good news as least pointed it is it only gets better when you stay sober. :) |
