2 weeks... Here

Yup. It is 14 days. I am so happy ... Being sober agrees with me, I am feeling wonderful for not having had a hangover, guilty feelings, anxiety, bad night or sleepless night, swollen legs, throbbing kidneys, red face, alcohol morning breath... The list goes on.....and since I only smoked when I drank I have also gone this long without a cig..

It is positive because I chose to be positive... Trust me it isn't easy because if I gave in to the feeling of loneliness and missing all my friends I would get depressed... Although calling them my friends I see it now that it is a bit of a stretch.. I guess they were drinking buddies... Also I do not think about anything I have done when drinking, that will be dealt with in a couple of months when I am stronger.
I still come home and go to sleep, I am tired in the evenings right after work, which is when I use to go out drinking... By 8pm I was very tipsy... So my naps are early and they keep me in line.. But I can say that I am happier and nicer to people at work and think twice before offending or being nasty to anyone... The alcohol made me so miserable and I see that now... It is like I was a totally different person.

Interesting that you are counting your sobriety in weeks now instead of days! I can't wait to get to double digits and then weeks!!!!!

Dragon you can do this, just read a lot here and post often what you r feeling, my advice to anyone is "keep it simple". I have a very long road ahead of me of healing and dealing with my past which I will have to if I want to stay sober until I am an old lady .... Just living one sober day or even hour at the time...
