51 days today.
Missed to post the 50 day mark yesterday.
I have to say it's been pretty hard to get here, but I am beginning to get moments of such clarity and happiness. I am going to the gym everyday, morning cardio and evening weight training where I marinate in the sauna for 15 minutes every night. Sleep has been up and down, but for the most part very good. My emotions are beginning to calm, and overthinking and restlessness seem to relax. I don't know where the full turn around will be but I am able to make progress, I have re-applied to college for fitness and health (a passion of mine) and I am financing my first new vehicle. Is this still, at 50 days, considered "early recovery"? I am finding some days I am still rather down, and others I feel great. I am notice it getting easier and easier though.
I will keep moving forward. Exercise, eating healthy and setting goals has seemed to do wonders for me. I am getting a glimpse of myself becoming the old me, enjoying things much more than I ever did the last 6-7 years of drinking. I'm sure looking back in many years from now I will be so happy that I quit at 26.

I can only speak to my experience but for me 50 days is WAY early recovery. Not sure when 'late' recovery happens but it hasn't happened for me yet (I've never made it past 2 years). Today is all I have so I try to stay in the moment. If I'm sober, its a good day.
Congrats on 51...you're doing great.

50 days, awesome!! Definitely early recovery now so stay vigilant.
My emotions were all over the place for months, maybe close to a year. I really wish I had done some thing about my drinking problem at 26. I didn't think I had a problem for decades. In retrospect I never drank normally even if it was months between drinks. Stopping the progression to full physical dependence/mental obsession at 26 would have changed my life! Keep going!
