30 days yesterday

I feel 100 times better about things.

I can say that over the past 30 days there were 2 instances where the thought of drinking occurred to me. Both times it came and went and eventually the stress passed with the urges.

Not having hangovers is the best feeling in the world. I was driving to work the day after one of the afforementioned urges and thought about how in the past I would be driving to work with a lousy constitution, nausea and an overall depressed attitude.

This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

thx to all for support at the right times so far. The journey continues.....
