10 weeks sober today
10 weeks 70 days call it what you want, I have come this far. I am not tempted and can ignore the voice that says "well done,you have now proved that you dont have a problem". That voice is a liar as I know that 1 sip will lead me down a path I have no intention of going down ever again.
I am free of the dry heaves every morning, I am free of the thick head, I am free of wondering if I am still over the limit when driving to work. Most of all I am free from the hold that alcohol has over me.I am also free of wondering if I did or said anything that upset anyone when I was drunk.
I have always wanted to learn a new language, now that my head is clear I am 3 weeks into teaching myself Spanish something I could never have done before.

Cryfreedom - great job on 10 weeks! I am just over 7 weeks. I am happy to hear you are not tempted. I am still frequenty tempted. Certainly not all the time, I usually dont have any desire to drink. Sometimes I do want a drink. If the temptation gets really strong I post in the November class and get a ton of support.
I certainly agree it is so great to not ever worry about what my BAC is before I drive. I actually view driving very differently and even enjoy it more. I used to avoid driving as much as I could. I would worry about alcohol in my system from the night before. Or if it wasnt that, I would worry I may have a drink while I was out and I would not want drive back. Now, I always offer to drive, everytime. Almost like a teenager who recently got there license.
I also relate to no longer worrying about what I said or did while drunk. I would drink until I blackout, then have immense shame and worry in the morning. Waking up sober every morning is awesome.
like I said, I still get tempted to drink but there is no way I will, I can't
