Two weeks
Here it is - two weeks. Really the only reason I’m posting is at the time I joined SR I felt like if I could make it to two weeks I might have a chance. Well, actually, day 6 is when I turned the corner, and have been pretty much fine since then.
My fine motor control is coming back. I’m starting to be able to write, not just scrawl. I can pick up a full glass of water without my hand trembling.
My brain fog is lifting. No physical cravings.
Anxiety, paranoia, impatience, all leaving.
I’ve veered between euphoria and depression at times, but those extremes are leveling out. My brain is learning to adjust new levels of serotonin.
Diet, exercise, all going well.
At times I feel like I’ve been sober for two years, not two weeks, but I’m quick to remind myself that just a few days ago how bad off I was. I still have a fear of admitting that I am a alcoholic, but I think that’s tied to my short period of sobriety. Give me 6 months or especially one year and I’ll probably hire a skywriter plane.
Thanks to SR, onwards to one month.

One thing that did not come across in my post is how hard I've worked to get to this point. It's taken years of self-introspection, setbacks, panic and hate on my behalf to arrive here.
If you take my post at face value, it's a bit like, "Gee, this sobriety thing is great! Wonder why I didn't do this before?" I've earned every day since I quit drinking, and I don't want to forget it.
I feel a bit bad because of all the people still struggling here. So far I'm free, and things are looking right for the future. To everyone still working on it, keep at it. If you fail try and figure out why and go at it again from a different direction. I didn't spend nights sitting on the floor crying like a two year old over my not being able to stop drinking for nothing. It all had a purpose, and maybe this time it's all come together.

They were the hardest for me, too. I'm so glad you're feeling positive about everything. Keep going, ODAAT!
