Day 17: Feeling Confident

So today marks the beginning of day 17 and I'm feeling much better than I did when I started this off. There are occasions when I feel the "need" for a drink, but I think back to all the time I missed while being drunk and hungover and that need disappears. I have to say that one of the main differences between now and prior attempts is SR. I continually read others experiences every day and post almost as much. It's really helped to know that I'm not the only one going through this struggle. Helping others with their problem, or rather giving encouragement to others strengthens my resolve.

It is only 17 days, but I feel like I can go many more and i'm still confident and motivated. It hasn't been easy, but I definitely haven't had it as hard as some. I sincerely hope for the best for everyone during their struggle and appreciate all the support given to me thus far. Stay strong!

Awesome post, Jayman. Seventeen days is fantastically legit.

Way to keep an eye on the past through sincere reflection. I think that's awesome. And way to keep an eye on the present by recognizing your current honest emotions and the seriousness of how your challenges remain strong. I think that's awesome too.

Overall, I think it's pretty safe to say that you're awesome.

Nice! Soon that urge to drink will start to subside. Will it ever be gone all the time? Maybe not, but we learn to deal with it better as time goes on that it seems to almost be non existent.

I am on day 17 as well. Even though my life would be considered dull right now I never want to go back to the solitary desperation of drinking again. I guess I will just be the neighborhood crazy cat lady lololol. Great job!
