Day 7
At 9pm tonight it will be exactly one week since I last had a drink!
I've been tempted this week but I love waking up without a hangover. I've made it to day 7 before so this will be a big one to make it to day 8. Determined though!
Thank you so much for all of your support this week. I really think I'd have been drinking if I didn't have this site to come to.
Really proud of myself. I know that will sound silly to people without addiction problems but a whole week without alcohol is a huge achievement for me.

Your one week anniversary. You should be proud of yourself! Big accomplishment! I've been writing a list of all the things I'm grateful for since being sober this past week. The list keeps getting bigger and I imagine them all being taken away if I drink. It has helped.

Thanks everyone.
This time a week ago I was powering through a bottle of wine. I woke up on Friday very unwell to the point my husband had to call in sick for work to look after me. It was a hideous, humiliating feeling and I knew I needed to change. I saw the GP that day.
This Thursday I am watching TV and will remember it. I will remember going to sleep. I will wake up, even with unsettled sleep, feeling better - feeling sober.
I know that I could easily slip but this site is helping me to focus on how I want my life to be going forward. Sober. If I'm sober I will be a better mother and wife. I will be better at my job. I won't be wasting my life or searching for relief from my anxiety at the bottom of a bottle.
