Thanks . . . Today is Day 128, but feels like Day 1! Trying to put thoughts of using out of my head. Staying occupied until the feeling passes.

Our bodies change every 30 days, just be vigilant about staying stopped!

You can get through this!

Besides not drinking, I suggest staying busy with something. I used to walk my dogs every time I got the urge to drink. (they got a lot of walks for a while
