103 Days In.

I intended to post on my 100th day but spaced it, and for good reason, not because I was drunk/hungover. The weather here has been fantastic and I have been able to get out and mountain bike and trail run to my heart's content. At these times, I don't even think about alcohol.

I am so thankful for this site, it has really helped me along the way. I'm feeling stronger every day. In the last 100 or so days, I have done more for myself than I think I have done in my whole life.

Anyway, just checking in. Hope all is well with everyone.

Very nice, i look forward to my own 100 day marker........ and then my 365 day marker

Day 56 here.

Has anyone noticed how time really "slowed down" after you quit? i mean it seems to me my first two weeks were just an ETERNITY. We know that the hours in a day are fixed at 24 hours........ but somehow....... mysteriously........ it seems like 40-70 hours when you are sober. Alcohol really made time fly, now that its out of the picture it seems time is rather....... slow.

Congrats on 100!! Nice job! When did you stop thinking about drinking? I'm on day 84, and although its going very well, I still feel that I'm usually always consumed by thoughts of sobriety.

I still think quite a lot about sobriety, but not about drinking per se. I noticed this morning that I was frustrated and I didn't even think about drinking. Im getting used to having emotions and feeling them (as opposed to running from them).
