3 Weeks Tonight
So, I last drank over 3 weeks ago. For the most part I am feeling better and feel my health improving day to day. I've definitely noticed that if I don't keep myself occupied the booze triggers starting happening, so i have tried to stay as busy as possible.
I don't post as much as I feel like I should, but I find reading every single thread on this forum incredibly therapeutic, so thanks to all of you for being my go to tool for sobriety. Looking forward to my one month thread next Sunday!

I also find reading SR a big part of keeping me grounded. Posting how I am feeling about things is also therapeutic for me, as I get both junk out of my head for feedback and receive ideas that I hadn't considered in my own self-analysis. My mind can become a jumbled place when I am not expressing what is going on with my world. There is nothing too mundane that hasn't come up in these forums that sometimes develops into a great conversation.

Great job on 3 weeks Soberdad. I know thru the first few months I had to keep myself busy to avoid the thoughts creeping into my head about drinking. But, man did I get a lot of crap done! Now I still love to stay busy but the urges are far and few between. Staying busy is just who I am now. Oh, and I don't drink.
You are doing great and the changes will continue as you progress further into sobriety. Happy for you.

Great job. Keep working the things that are working. Have you looked into the technique of urge surfing? Some great info with that helped me in my early days of sobriety.
Keep your eyes on the prize. One of the best things about this process is that things get better. Life doesn't suddenly become a bowl of cherries, but you will have power and the capacity to deal with your life properly finally. For me it was finally, for the first time. Congrats and keep us updated.
