Day 12
Well I am on day 12 and would never have believed it spent a lot of time thinking when did the alcohol take control of every moment of my life there was a time when I used to go out at night I remember them.The alcohol made me a prisoner couldent go out any nights because I was over the limit 20mns after getting home.Drinking 6 tall cans a night and sneaking whiskey so I would have something to drink later.Drinking a bottle of my daughters rum (she hardly drinks and would have lasted her a year).Drinking at 3am 6am.Last time I drank had to phone my wife and tell her I was sick and was going for a sleep in the spare room and not to wake me.I am so sick of that way of life the last 12 days have been great sleeping well blood pressure down to normal....etc etc ..alcohol is a liar and a thief it steals your tme and lies to you about how it makes you feel good but after a while you don't drink to feel good you drink because it controls you.I am stumbling through this recovery day by day...and it is worth it...thank you God and thank you folks at sober recovery.......................................... ..........

Twelve days is great! Keep up the good work. It's amazing how alcohol crept into my life slowly, almost imperceptibly, then took it over and tossed it around. Getting sober has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. Congrats to you!

I can honestly say that alcohol would not bring me any joy what so ever if I decided to drink. Nothing but pain, ill feelings, and anxiety. This is my third quit, and I really think this time I really took. Day 12 is great, but you can expect some urges here and there, but be sure to remember this post and think of the way you are feeling now to help you through that urge. Great job.
