one week

Big day for me! One week sober. Haven't had a week under me in a very long time. I don't miss the hangovers...the guilt staying up after hubby went to bed...the damage control I'd have to do on social media and text the next day (not even remembering I no posted or texted) not remembering what or if I ate before bed...usually looked in microwave or trash for that info...watching the clock to see how many hours of sleep will I get if I have two more...oh and let's not forget when I actually did go to work coming home because I was "sick"....

Anyway...sorry for the rant...feels good to say all that and know I don't have to live that anymore. Here's to many more weeks guys! Thanks for your support!!!

If you get an urge to drink, read your post. It is a very, very good reminder. This is what is meant by replaying the tape before one chooses to drink again.

I had something similar I printed off and taped on my mirror. I'd read it daily while brushing my teeth.

Glad you're with us - Congratulations on a week = great start!

First off, congrats because this is excellent.
Second off, I literally could've wrote this myself (except that I'm at 0 days sober .. ) All of what you said is my mornings to a T. Especially this morning. Here's to hoping I can get a week under like you. And more weeks to follow.

Congrats Christi on a week! I always say first week is the worst week. Keep a copy of what you wrote here and read through it next time you feel tempted

Golden! Good to see you. Rest of your life starts here, if you want it to
