26 days
Hello everyone I just wanted to check in. Today is day 26 sober. I feel absolutely wonderful. Iv lost 7 pounds and counting and I am just overall feeling so much healthier. I am on anti biotics for a kidney infection right now but taking milk thistle to hopefully help. I'm still not sure if the pains I was getting in my liver area mean I have damaged my liver or if it may repair itself now that I am sober. I have to wait until 3 weeks for my bloods to be taken as I am on the anti biotics now. My skin has cleared up massively. I have more energy. Last night my neighbours were watching the conor mc Gregor fight and stayed up all night drinking. I woke up so fresh and done all my housework while they looked worse for wear. I do not miss it one single bit. I am finally living my life and although my anxiety still crushes me I tend to just sit and try to resolve it now rather then drink my problems away. Here's to hopefully the rest of my life sober. Me and alcohol are no longer friends in fact now we are enemies. I hope everyone is doing well xx

That's great! I had a fight party last night and my out of town guests are still 'sleeping it off'. I've been up for 6hrs. Had breakfast,went clothes shopping and to an AA meeting. Now I sit here..waiting on the 'dead' to rise.

lola,
I was a paranoid wreck for months. The booze alters our brain chemistry.
After a long long while (over a year in my case), things came into focus.
I didn't have any meetings or steps that i accomplished. I worked out a whole bunch though.
AA's process is just that, a process to stay clean. Some use SMART, AVRT...etc. Some just decide to quit.
I used a hybrid. I go to AA meetings sometimes. It is great to see folks that are embracing sobriety and talk about our journey.
Normies and active addicts not seeking recovery...don't get it.
Now, I am feeling pretty normal. Things that bothered me to no end before, don't anymore.
It is liberating.
The deal for me was...education about what was going on in my head....and sober time.
Booze is poison.
Thanks.

Thank you everyone. I love coming on here for the support that you guys give. I am very proud of myself and my sobriety so far. It is something I didn't think I could do in a million years. Long may it last.
