what a difference a week makes
Today is day 8 of my sobriety!! Last Saturday i was so hungover I couldnt go to a family get together. . .mommy had a stomachache!! Makes me sick thinking of it. Anyway . . .this saturday my aunt and uncle are visiting and i am feeling great. No more hangovers and instead of wine today . ..diet pepsi! Thought I'd post how I am feeling. . .just woke up and realizing what a difference one week makes! Good luck to all of you! Nice to know we are in it together.

Congratulations on eight days!
When I think of how much I missed due to being hungover it makes me ill.
Just don't let complacency set in. We're always vunerable after feeling better.
Remember the hangovers and how you felt, and realize you never have to feel that way again.
Best to you.

fantastic job!
i don't miss the hangovers at all. or the anxiety that was also the price of going on a bender. my husband is away til monday (he left on weds) and i have been thinking about the drinking i used to do when he was away. i caught a buzz for about 10 minutes and then it was straight off to oblivion. and then the withdrawals, sickness and remorse.
if we don't pick up a drink, we never have to go through that again.
brilliant, isn't it?!!

Congratulations! Getting thru that first week does make such a difference. I don't miss the hangovers either. It was always so stupid, a couple hours of supposed "happiness", a few more hours of increasingly idiotic thoughts and sometimes behavior, and feeling like total garbage both physically and mentally the next day. It was never a square trade or worth it.
