So, I guess in an hour and a half, I'll be sober officially for seven days!

Very exciting. What's more exciting is how I feel. It's so great to not wake up all sticky and covered in sweat and breath reeking like alcohol.

And I can actually get a workout in in the mornings without being too hungover.

I only need one cup of coffee in the morning instead of three just to get my eyes open enough to drive.

Well done I have to confess though - I need 2 coffees in the mornings, but I'm just naturally dopey at that hour Xx

Two coffees is better than 10 drinks! haha

Nice job! The first week is the toughest. It gets better and better the longer alcohol is out of your system. Keep it up!

justin, your joy and optimism just brought a much needed smile to my face, and it's contagious. Thank you for reminding me of the little things we sometimes take for granted after being sober a while. Can't ever forget those horrible hangover mornings, that drug on through half the day, or all day....NOT missing that at all!

Congrats on 7 days, and best wishes on your personal sober journey, it's soo worth it!
Peace,

My record is I think 12 days. This is my second best record. So this is actually only the second time in like 3 years or more that I've gotten to actually experience sobriety.

That's AWESOME, Justin!

I'm on day 7 too. We can be sober neighbors . But I'm super bored and feel like I have nothing to break up the monotony of my week. Everyday is like the one before, and the one after.

I feel the same way every time I quit, which may be why I'm having such a hard time. Right now my work schedule is so screwed up that I work 4 (10 hour) days, Sunday thru Wednesday, get off work at 10, which is when most people are wrapping things up for the night, go to work at noon the next day, so don't do much in the morning before work. The first 4 days of the week are a blur, then I have 3 whole days off and usually don't get much accomplished then either. Battling depression also, and I know the alcohol is not good for it, but it helps for the short term.

That's great! Those mornings should never be missed! Those mornings were awful and trying to get through the day, even worse. I'm glad you found SR and are sober. I never thought there were others like me. I hope I can get past this first week! Keep it up , you're doing great
