Keeping Busy
Hey everyone,
I haven't been around the forum lately. I don't like it, but I don't have internet in my new apartment yet. I'm leaving for England on Thursday!
I'm officially two months without a drink, and sober life is treating me great. I feel so awesome, and I have so much get-up-and-go. It's just... mind-blowing. I'm up every morning doing something and actually taking care of myself. I've been to the doctor's for general check-ups and getting caught up on all my vaccines. I'm eating better.
My only problem is that I am a little lost as for what I'm supposed to be doing. It's strange to have all this time freed up where I don't feel absolutely horrendous or stumbling around drunk. I've been managing to keep busy, but with moving and going on a trip there's not much in the way of a routine. Once I get back, I'll have a more steady day job, and I think I'll have some semblance of an adult life. I completely forgot how to be an adult the past two years! I get my own place and I'm all... "What? I need to remember to buy toilet paper? Light bulbs??"
Anyway, I apologize for the long, rambling post, but they're happy ramblings and that is such a good feeling. Today marks day one of cutting out soda, my improvement for this month. I successfully went through July without energy drinks!
Thank you to everyone here for being so supportive. I never thought I could do this, and I hope anyone reading this who feels that way sees that it's possible, and there is this crazy, amazing light at the end of the tunnel.

Congratulations sdi9285!
Amazing how much time is consumed drinking, isn't it? I felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders when I stopped.
Sounds like you doing well.
I'm very happy for you!
