Crazy to think about...
Wrapping up day 10.. obviously not 100% symptom and temptation free, but feeling well and confident all things considered.
10 Days isn’t far on the grand scheme, but for me, it’s really a perspective to think about how shocking our behavior can be.
I have been a functioning alcoholic who was having about a fifth of cheap vodka spread throughout the day in the later end of my problem drinking. It became such a “normal” part of my life, but when you see things like: “the CDC defines heavy drinking as no more than 4 drinks/night AND no more than 14 drinks/week”... and you realize that a fifth is 17 drinks, and that was being had per day.... you do that over a course of a week and that’s 120...
120!!!!!
I never want to go back to that place 😱

Hi BITL - you are doing great - 10 days is fabulous. Things will keep getting better - you are free.
It's amazing that we somehow justified pouring all that poison into our systems. I told myself it was helping me cope. It was doing just the opposite. Congratulations on your success!

That's a "sobering" way to look at things.
