Yesterday, I felt like something was missing...
I came down with a bug and slept a ton this weekend. I couldn't shake the feeling like that I was forgetting something pretty important. A birthday? A phone call? A bill? Then, early this morning (after two very strong cups of coffee), I realized that yesterday marked my 30 days!
I'm not in any program, because I thought I'd give quitting a go on my own first. I am extremely stubborn (b/c I'm a Taurus, if anyone believes in that stuff, lol). One of the ways that trait (for better or worse) seems to manifests itself is a cast iron will once I make up my mind about something. Even despite that, without SR and having the ability to check in when things get trying, I wonder how things would have been much different / harder. (It's still been really hard - especially the first two weeks). Just finding comfort in the fact that I'm not alone and there's a whole spectrum of folks going through the same trials has been just plain awesome. 30 days is still early, and I'm not in the clear, but it's a start.
I feel a million times better in every possible way. A month ago, I was terrified at the idea of not being able to go to sleep without having "at least one" and all the associated obsessing.
Thanks for being here.

I vaguely remember the bizarre sensation of having the drinking routine broken. Also how, when 2 weeks and then a month went by, I started to say to myself that this was cool, and I could keep going now.
