Day 168
It was December 14, 2016 when I had my last drink. Still remember it. Two shots of bourbon and two beers just so I could get to sleep (a week earlier that was breakfast). The next three days were horrible. Withdrawal symptoms- YUP_ I had them all, in spades. First two weeks weren't any picnic period. Third week I slept soundly and started thinking clearly. Fourth week I started feeling like myself. From there everyday got better and easier.
Since then I've been to my first totally clean concert, my first baseball game without a beer, and I've played designated driver on many a night out. I don't begrudge those around me who can enjoy a drink responsibly. The way I look at it I did this to myself through many years of habitual overindulgence until my body needed it like oxygen.
I found SR about 3 months in and it was a relief to find others that clearly understood that early hell. If you're new here, welcome and if you one of the seasoned vets, thank you for the early support.

Keep going, it gets better.
