It takes 21 days...

They say it takes 21 days to break a habit...

Happy 21 days sober to me!

After 21 days I:

-No longer crave alcohol 24/7
-Sleep through the night
-Stop sweating, even on warm days!
-The shakes are barely noticeable
-My mouth is not dry anymore
-My anxiety decreased immensely
-No more panic/paranoia
-No more wobbly legs
-No more stained teeth
-My skin and hair look so much better
-I am eating healthier and loving it
-I have more money!
-I have more energy
-I remember what I did last night

To all of you who are struggling to stop drinking...keep trying! Don't quit quitting! It is worth it!

Life is so much better sober!

I love you all! Thank you SO much SR!!!
