A month ! :-)
A month today - I'm really pleased with myself! From 2 bottles a wine to nothing !!
It's been really tough at times I will be honest,emotions all over the place and still are,do I want a drink right now ..yes it's all I can think about straight up truth
I'm not having one though - not today,tomorrow I will battle it again head on
Today I'm going to walk the dog,get a family Pizza and watch a movie and wake up hangover free ! Anyway else's dog fed up with owners new healthy lifestyle ? !
I don't know if anyone else does this but I'm doing a daily selfie and have done since day one ..god I looked truly awful ,not there yet but I can look others in eye without them thinking he looks like a complete drunk
Anyway ,it's just a month - more to come !
I check in here every few hours - don't post so much but reading and understanding I'm not alone is so much help! I wouldn't be a month if it wasn't for SR
Anyway - ramble over,hope everyone has a lovely weekend 🤗

Congrats on the sobriety RainyEngland! Yea, my dog does get less leftovers now that I've cut way back on food. I don't think he's lost any weight though. He just takes the dog food more seriously now.

Nice job! A month is huge! Sounds like you do what i do and what many others do and plan out your day. I definately feel like that is key! One thing that definately helps me when i have cravings is to say the serenity prayer or even try to help someone in need if possible. Have a great day!

Rain,
Great post. The dog question cracked me up.
Big Big Congrats!
30 days is a long long time for a drunk to be sober.
Physically, imo....you are clean as a whistle. Mentally...the brain needs its happy sauce.
It took me many many months to stabilize to an acceptable mental level most of the time.
I made it 8 months clean about 20 years ago. It was so easy...i decided I could start again and quit if I needed to....wrong!
This last quit...2 years ago...was hell on earth. I could have easily ended up in the looney bin.
So, that was scary.
I respect and fear booze now. I will never drink again.
Thanks.

Great stuff congratulations
I found my emotional instability really settled down over 6 months. Quite a few things fluctuated over that time sleep, energy- I had very driven thoughts for the first 3 of them
