5 months
I've got 5 months today.
At 4 months I went through 2 weeks of intense craving and depression. Then it lifted. Now I don't have much of an interest in drinking. I have too many other things going on in my life and being drunk doesn't have a place in my schedule.
Drinking used to be very important to me. I had to include it daily into my life no matter how sick and depressed or full of anxiety I got. Looking back, I was so deluded and confused.
It feels good to have all that become a memory, to feel capable of tackling the days events without being sick or hungover, or wondering if anyone can smell the booze wafting from my way.
Years ago, back when I could handle drinking, I never imagined it would one day break me. That I would become just another sick, overweight, depressed, cynical drunk shuffling around complaining and doing the bare minimum to get through life. But it finally happened to me.
I'm so glad that's not who I am today. I made a mess of myself for a while, and I have to live with that, but I don't have to stay that way. To those of you just quitting, or yearning to quit, give yourself time sober! Let the changes happen. It works!
