Happy to see you are still moving forward. Early sobriety is tough, but many people have done it. Try to focus on each day as much as you can. The only day that counts is today. Before you know it, those todays will add up and become weeks than months. Hope you keep posting, Always nice to see people succeed. John

Reading about somebody winning over alcohol is NEVER boring. Keep it up, Ian!

Day 4 is awesome! Don't worry about what others think. You're here to get well! That is never boring.

IanW

Thanks for all the support, still sober.😊

Now I'm sober and realise how much drunk people repeat themselves and talk endlessly about themselves, what they thing and want and how little interest they have in other people or things, and am able to reflect honestly, I realise that actually I was far more of a bore when I was a drunk than I am now while I'm sober. Nowadays, I'm happy to listen rather than just spew my own self-obsessed garbage into everyone's ears. And if I have nothing to say, I am able to keep quiet because I don't feel the need to keep pushing myself into the centre of things.

Ianww,

Getting sober is embracing reality...it let's us know our true self.

No more drunken ramblings followed by hours hungover sitting around.

Now sober, my days are full of activity. Chores, shopping, excercise, exploration, tinkering. Sobriety is freedom.

When drunk, I was restricted to my house usually, unless I wanted to drukenly walk or ride my bicycle around the town. Not fun.

This being the 2nd day of a 4 day weekend for me...before...I would be so passed out right now...wake up...heart beating out of my chest..,head pounding...exhausted...anxiety ridden, guilty feeling....wondering if I left the stove on or something....

I feel fresh now...strong and clear as a bell. So free.

Stay clean. Change your life a bit.

Sobriety is how we were designed to live. There is not a living thing on earth that is designed to ingest alcohol and flurish. Alcohol is a brain altering toxin.

Don't believe the marketing hype we have been exposed to since birth. It is all nonsense.

Proudly sober.

You're doing great! Keep it up, Ian.
