Day 23 and Loving It!
Just checking in. I try to do so weekly now 
All is going really well. Only had mild cravings at the weekends and it's just a fleeting thought. It's amazing how much spare time I have now to pursue things which will improve myself and my life!
Sleeps still a bit manic. I go nights where I can't sleep at all and end up staying up to ensure I don't fall to sleep at the last minute and don't get my daughter to school. To falling to sleep with ease at 9pm. I look forward to some normality soon! I am trying not to take any supplements to make me sleep even though it's tempting because I am really wanting to be healthy and natural as possible. So I solider on. Nightmares have subsided for now. Dreams are really vivid and wonderful though. Can't remember dreaming like that since childhood.
I had to turn down my first social event this week, which felt strange to hear myself saying NO to pleasure seeking activities. I guess the offers will come thick and fast with Christmas on the horizon. I really do still feel like continuing my hermit like existance in regards to social life for now. I am recovering and I am healing. Although, eventually I'd love to take some classes, maybe volunteer, take up some cool hobbies like horse riding etc... For now, I am just pleased to be sober, healthy, wealthier and wise.

Congrats! I'm on day 26 and like you feeling great and also turned down a social event this weekend. I had no doubts about it though. A bunch of old friends meeting in am city centre all staying in hotels for two nights and the main events all being in pubs!
It would have taken a saint to resist all the booze that is flowing as I type this 250 miles away!
