Day 90
After 90 days I can say that l am much better mentally than even a few weeks ago. Other than not having intense hangovers, I am not that much better physically yet. I have had colds and flu's, so I haven't had much time in that area to recover.
I still have mood swings, but I am realizing that swings happen to normal people as well. I can kind of tell the difference between the early recovery mood swings and the new "normal" everyday life ones.
I can say I'm quite happy now, and if I could only get past my last relationship, would be in great shape all around. I am able to get up at 6:40 am everyday for work, and I realize that when I was drinking even just on weekends, that I could never possibly get up early and function.
I have not tried to change the areas of my life too much, because I am not ready to completely redo my whole life in terms of what I do for fun. I still go out to sports bars with friends to watch big games. I actually enjoy talking to women sober and make fun of even my friends when they are drunk.
Drinking has crossed my mind, but reading here and other books has helped me realize they are just mind tricks. Part of me tries to rationalize that I could drink in moderation, but I don't even want to think about that because of everything that I have experienced from blacking out to the grueling hangovers.
I can say I am a much better person and I am looking forward to the next 3 months to see what I can accomplish.
The last thing is that I just read "Dry", and even as a straight man, enjoyed the viewpoints and storyline. If someone wants my copy I will gladly ship it out.
Thank you SR.

I read "Dry", too. Very good read. Borroughs had another one, Magical Thinking, maybe? Not positive of the title and I'm too tired to google, regardless he sure lays it out there, doesn't he?
Congratulations on your 90 days. Slowly, but surely, it really does come together.
