20 Days Sober
Hey Everyone! 20 Days sober today! I haven't made a post in a week or so, figured I would do an update! Recovery is going great! Never would've thought I would make it this far without going back to drinking! It was strange watching the Superbowl and not being wasted, but pleasant being that I will remember it! Haha. Appetite is high, my only concern is my neck and back is uncomfortable a lot and I always feel the need to adjust it and it's tough to stay comfortable, not sure if it's related to recovery, but hopefully it gets better. Anyone else have this problem in recovery?

20 days is FANTASTIC! You are on your way to freedom from alcohol but be vigilant, that voice that will tell you it is OK to drink again is waiting for a weak moment.... STAY STRONG!
Those pains are more noticeable now because you are not self medicating. I was the KING of self medication, using alcohol and pot to cover up the pain from a bad back for decades.
Give it some more time. Stretching and exercise will also help.
