Day 20 check in
Feeling good. Still no cigs or beers. My knee is feeling a little better so I will take a long walk. My mood feels calmer today than yesterday, and I feel happy inside despite negative things my alcohol abuse led me to. So I am on 20 days and this is the longest I have gone, especially with cigarettes. I feel like some nice, normal person took the place of a negative, greedy drunk. SR has kept me sober and motivated. Thanks to everyone on SR.

Congrats on your successes thus far, Acheleus! Though you seem to go through emotional upheavals and are experiencing some highs and lows, and such... I can clearly see you are living successfully already!! 
Keep it up...

Thank you guys. I have realized I never ate breakfast while drinking, and now I know I need to eat something before lunch because I get emotional and upset when I have not eaten. My sleep is good on the weekends but my anxiety about my class keeps me awake some nights. Behind the health food store I saw a group of people smoking and I kind of missed the camaraderie smokers can have, but I also thought about how mych money I have saved and how much better I feel. My negative thoughts are the big thing I have to work on, and I need to be less afraid. But I do feel better and I am in this for the long haul. There is no reason for me to go back to being dysfunctional and drunk.

Scrambled eggs, salmon cakes, fried squash, and grapes. Some leftovers, but now I am cooking every night, and I never cooked when I was hungover. Listening to this guy a lot lately too:
