Positive Changes Are Happening
Just wanted to share with you some of the positive changes that have been happening since I quit alcohol 62 days ago. I apologize I didn't post my own thread when I first joined but I have posted on other threads. Everyone is so positive and encouraging and right now SR and my family is all I have to keep me on track.
Quitting hasn't been all Unicorns and rainbows. Change has been gradual. Like so many who quit have commented mornings are great. I get up a lot earlier than I used to and I am not sick and throwing up in my toilet every morning. I am more productive at work and around the house. I no longer have to promise myself every morning that today is the day I quit because I did for good on July 16.
What really made it all worthwhile is this weekend my wife said she and the kids are proud of me and when I was talking to my youngest son in our kitchen he said he likes the cool dad.
If your serious about removing alcohol from your life don't expect that everything will change overnight. Positive change will happen, you just need to be patient.

Awesome. I was actually in the bathroom a few nights ago- FLOSSING! And I had the water running, and when I got out, my wife asked "were you throwing up?" It was always my "trick" to leave the water running to that no one could hear me yack. Apparently that didnt work as well as I thought. But no I wasnt throwing up, I was flossing heh.

I know, a little over the top, but I like it. It sure beats the sadness and disappointment in their eyes I would see while I was drinking.
