A whole fortnight sober!
Wowee I honestly couldn't imagine getting this far, I planned to do it but actually doing it is something that felt like getting to a different world.
I'm halfway to a month. Which a few weeks ago was just so beyond comprehension, now the more time I'm sober the more confidence I gain in staying sober for longer.
My experience so far has been a hellish first couple of days, I was sick while withdrawing which was not fun, then after that things have gone from good to amazing.
My AV voice does pop in now and again, usually when I'm having a great time saying "hey, you know what would make this better? A case of beer" and when it does I kick it out of my head. It''s nowhere near strong enough to take me down and every time I knock it back it gets weaker. I'm no longer afraid of it, it's just an obstacle to overcome.
I've been on the sofa due to my injured ankle but I'm finding that I have so many hobbies my main problem is finding all the time to fit them in.
All in all I'd rate this life higher than hugging the toilet every morning throwing up the small glass of water I desperately drank in my dehydration.
Wouldn't rate it as as activity. Gonna put it next to self harming in a piranha tank in the part of my brain entitled "stuff I'd rather not do thanks".
Looking forward to the month!
