It's so good to hear you all saying the 2nd and 3rd months are easier than the first! I have been so happy and mostly craving-free for the past few days. 33 days sober.
Now I need to focus some on work this coming week. And on finding more and more interesting, fun things to do.

Hi everyone,
It's been a busy weekend and I am happy to say I am at day 37
I am truly loving the peace that has come back to my life...it's been a pretty wild ride the past couple of years and I am thankful to be off of it. Really, truly being true to myself and feeling amazing.
Thanks for all your support, let's all make it to 90 and to all that have just reached it or are very close

Day 5 gone working on day 6.. almost a week already.. I have had heart pulpations for about 7 years. Had test and they are nothing. They changed a little the past year and a half.. instead of feeling like the heart skips well it feel like it goes fast for a few seconds.. Last evening had one that lasted longer than before.. SCARED ME.. I thought, Come on, I'm being good not drinking and feeling soooooooo good.. Don't start something for me to worry about..
But today is another day. I went for a long power walk (something I have done nearly all my life) and I feel great!
Bye Bye day 5.....

Hey MeBlonde! Congrats...another one bites the dust;-) Day that is:-) One of the best things I found was the longer was sober the more each day became less about making it through without a drink and more about living and enjoying it to the fullest!
If you've had the heart thing checked out and the doctor says nothing is wrong you can do one of two things...1) get a second opinion or 2) not worry about it:-)

Hey all
Day 73, I have to admit I got a little mad at my husband today. Some friends of ours wanted to hang out and catch up and he actually suggested that we go with them to visit the Long Island wineries (we used to spend a lot of time there together, both as a couple and with these particular friends.)
I know that he doesn't really understand what I am going through, I know that. But HELLO? Why in the world would I want to go to a winery?? It's even worse than going to a bar (which he knows I'm not up for yet, either) -- at least at a bar I could get a club soda and cranberry or something and sit and talk with them, but at a winery all I'd be doing would be sitting around empty-handed watching them all do wine tastings and thinking about the fact that I'm not drinking. Not exactly my idea of a good time. When I expressed this he got all huffy and basically accused me of overreacting. Which maybe I did but... DUH! I mean he's usually more intelligent than this, honestly. I thought he'd already accepted that certain things were going to have to change in our life, and this makes me wonder if really he's just waiting for everything to go back to the way it was. Very frustrating.
Anyway, I obviously will NOT be going to the wineries, and we settled the issue, but I just had to get that off my chest. I can't talk to him about it any more, because when I tried to explain how I felt he just got mad and told me the conversation was over. *eyeroll* I don't think he was happy with my reaction about this, but I really couldn't help it.
On the plus side, one more day sober and it didn't even occur to me to crave a drink to deal with being angry or frustrated.

Please do get a second opinion if you're worried meblonde.

~Give us this day our daily thread~
*pokes head in, waves to everyone*
Hey guys and gals, just checking in to say hi and sending good vibes out today.
Working on day #36, had a nice group last night at the church, talked about alot of stuff and listened to people get things off their chest. I feel refreshed inside. Man, I can't believe how fast the days have passed, even though early on I felt like I was living in slow motion.
