3 months sober today!

...Not usually one to blow my own trumpet but damn it this feels good!

When I first got sober I used to hate posts like this, there was no way in hell I was going to make it that far. 30 days seemed like forever but now 3 months feels like a drop in the ocean and I don't have that fear of being x amount of time sober, if that makes sense?

If you're newly sober... it does get easier and usually quicker than you'd think.

It's still not perfect, I still have doubts sometimes, and the occasional craving, but physically I feel so much better and the only time I feel sick is when I've eaten too much chocolate!

Thanks to everyone for their support here...I wouldn't have been able to even stop drinking without SR x

Oh, and this is 3 months without smoking for me too

Wow, you gave up drinking and smoking at the same time? I didn't know such a thing could be done. I'm not a smoker myself, but I don't think I would enjoy having another craving piled on top of the one I already have. Congratulations on the three months, and it sure is good to hear things get easier. Keep it up!
