A new week
Hey everyone - I know this might be a waste of a thread, but I am just so ecstatic that I had to share the news. Today is day 8.... which means that I've been sober for over a week!
To be honest I felt disappointed in myself for wanting alcohol every day. There was even one point when I discovered that a hard liquor bottle was in the house. I could see only the lid but when I jolted towards it to drink it... I discovered it was empty. At first I was disappointed, but now I feel that I was lucky.
Anyhow, despite a few close calls I am so happy to have managed to be sober this week.

Congrats on day 8! Not a waste of a thread at all.
The universe was looking after you with respect to that empty. I relapsed once at 7 months because I found two mini's under my mattress. Good lord. Crazy.

I'm at day 15 so also just going day to day. Actually, I'm taking it one hour at a time. These early days are very fragile. I go to an AA meeting everyday and am on this forum round the clock. Anxiety is high still but I'm just going to accept it rather than suppress it with alcohol.
8 days is a great start. Keep going!
