One week sober

In a good mood waking up this morning. One week sober and it's Friday to boot! Yeah! Most of the anxiety is gone although I realize I may still have anxious days ahead. But for today, for right now, I feel good.

Congratulations on a week!
That's a big milestone, and you made it.
Live in the day, who knows is the anxiety will come back? Maybe it won't.
Glad you're feeling good, and remember, you never have to drink again
Have a great day!

Congrats on a week Tired! The first couple weeks can really be rough from a physical standpoint, glad to see things are already improving for you. You are correct that things may get rough from time to time, but that's simply part of life. You will be far better prepared to deal with the issues as they come up, and things should definitely improve overall as time goes by. Have a safe and sober weekend, don't forget someone is always here on SR if you need to log in and talk.

Well done, Tiredofthepain! The first week is the hardest, so that's behind you. Onwards and upwards now. What would you Iike to achieve in sobriety, that wouldn't be possible if drinking?

Nice work, Tired.

You never have to go through that first week again.

Thanks for the support. The work week is finally over. No desire to drink, I have come too far. But just have been feeling so tired by the time I come home from work yesterday and today. I think a nap is in order and then try some internet shopping to get a start on Christmas later tonight. Not really looking forward to the holidays but will muddle through somehow. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel more energized and be able to get some things done around the house. At least I won't be spending all day tomorrow recuperating from a hangover.
