Made it to double digits!!
Just checking in. Finally made it to double digit days of not drinking. Wow what a difference. Fog is gone, starting to workout again, eating everything that's not nailed down lol and wife is smiling.
Had kinda of a blow out in anger yesterday do to some unforeseen issues but made it through. I own the outburst, it was just childish like (not directed towards my family).
No real cravings to speak of but I cant believe drinking actually entered my head after dragging my corpse out of the pits of withdrawls. Alcohol is just vicious and non-merciful.

My therapist asked me last week: 'If you could teach your children one thing about alcohol, what would it be?'
I really had to think about that long and hard. My answer was: Just how PERNICIOUS it is.
Its a gradual, creeping ************. And when you realise it's got you ITS GOT YOU.
Congrats on 10 days, there is a way out

I remember "double digits". I was really proud of myself.
Wait 'till you start counting in months. It's even better (not easy) and the the pride and strength grows.
I'm nearing 6 months and it's so much better.

Brilliant, vfk! Things do get easier as you rack up the sober days--I had a short temper and some childish outbursts when I first quit--and still do occasionally. Alcohol is definitely pernicious (I love words, and this one sounds like what it means.) It sneaks in gradually until you are well and truly caught. I always thought I could stop--until the day when I realized I couldn't. Keep up the great work--it must be wonderful to see your wife smiling.

I dont know you but this is awesome to hear. Its a great start and sounds like you are reaping the rewards already. You sound like me almost a year ago now. It feels way better than drinking all the time guaranteed. Best of luck to you! Dont go back now, its not worth it. Wait till you start seeing how much more money you have in your wallet.
