7 days sober!!!!

Hi there - I have been reading the forums for quite some time to gain the strength to finally stop drinking!! I wanted to report that I am now 7 days sober and way too funny that my 7th day falls at the beginning of the weekend - BUT - my plans tonight are to drink water, jog with the dog and get some great relaxation time in. It was a rough week - day 1 and day 2 were horrible - but - the rest of the week got so much better. Currently: 1) I have way more energy, 2) I am not so puffy or bloated, 3) My thinking is clear and 4) I don't feel 'dizzy' like I did every day that I would wake up!!! Thanks to everyone on this board as you have all been my inspiration to do something that I have been wanting to do for so long!!!! Alex

Congratulation on your week and thanks for posting! Stick around and hang out with us! The first weekend was hard for me too, but getting through it felt really really good!

Hi SoCal, Got 5 days here, after quitting every morning for years. Almost ran for the vodka about 4 hrs. ago. I don't try to avoid drink number 2 thru infinity anymore. Just stay away from # 1. Yeah, mornings sure are diffierent now. Good luck.

It's funny - I actually smelled the bottle of vodka a few times earlier in the week - not because I wanted to drink it - but to remind myself that the stuff smells like poison as it so certainly is poison!!!! I am excited about all of the great things to come week 2, week 3 and on.....!! Thanks again everyone for your support - you are all terrific!!!!
