30 days today
I guess I'm patting myself on the back. I'm 30 days today. It hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected, however, the holidays do make it worse because it seems that EVERYONE wants you to have a drink with them.
A lot of things have improved in the last 30 days. I actually sleep! Really sleep. The nice, dreamy, wake-up-feeling-good kind. I hadn't had that in years. Also, I feel much better. No constant stomach problems and no more "dysentery-sufferer" bathroom habits (hey, it's the small things! lol).
I once again feel motivated to do stuff, start new projects, and create. Things I had in my youth that alcohol took away. I don't regret stopping for a second and I sure hope everyone else here finds their way out of the fog like I did. I am constantly vigilant however knowing that the fog and darkness is just one drink away and I can never get too comfortable to forget that. The danger is always there and I'm not so arrogant to assume that it will never get me again.
I want to thank everyone here for all of their support. I really haven't posted a lot, however, I have checked in every day (several times per day usually). The support and motivation I found here was unbelievable and played a huge part in my small milestone.
I couldn't have done it without you and all I can say is "thanks".

Great job on the 30 days!

Those people are usually people that can "have a drink" and stop. I can't do that. The first drink leads to an ER visit for alcohol withdrawal and missed work (blamed on the stomach flu followed by dehydration).
