It’s been a good sober day today. I’m getting ready to put my head on the pillow and wake up in the morning without a hangover. Taking it one day at a time and staying busy and engaged with my family. Doing lots of reading, and I’ve kept a tab open here on SR. Good night everyone.
Say cheese!

That’s great Freedom 
both on the ciggies and a week sober! Congratulations
Sleep well Sobertoday. Waking up without a hangover is gold. Such a good feeling
Oldskate and Erratic, I’ve had heaps of day 1s. Too many to count. Well done on being here and keeping trying.
I’m sick of day 1s and planning to never have another one.
Three days today and I’m feeling better already
I’ve done this too many times to keep doing it. I know where alcohol takes me and it’s nowhere good. So it’s maintaining a permanently sober life that I’m working on.
Have a good day/night everyone

Morning all
Welcome Saoirse. I'm with you on the eating and chocolate. Trying to get a better handle on food today.
Soberrtoday-you sound positive and upbeat which is great
Welcome oldskate
Sorry to read that Erratic but great you are posting and not gone off on a bender or anything. I know how stressful work can be. my current job isn't stressful at all, more the people that can cause me stress. Nothing to do with them, they are great, It's me. I'm rubbish at interaction and would rather be a hermit but needs must. I'm working on breathing, walking away and learning new ways of dealing and not drinking everyday after work.
Great to read your update Willow
Congrats on a week FF
1 week for me today too. Sounds silly but I've had 2 or 3 nights here and there but to get to a week seems first in a few weeks. Onwards and upwards from here. Even trying to deal with stuff sober seems easier. Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning everyone and well done on everyones milestone, your all doing great. Day 14 for me today i enjoy being sober so much more than being drunk and hungover. Also feel like im starting to get my bipolar managed, taking my tablets same time and going to bed same time, is helping me feel more leveled out

Morning all. I feel a fraud being on this thread as alcohol is not even a part of my thought process at the moment. I've started another thread about my relationship breakdown and am all consumed in the emotional and practical consequences of that.
But hi anyway, I need a lot of support as my emotions are all over the place

Saoirse, I’ve been eating more chocolate than when I was drinking too. More other sweet things too. I think sugar cravings are common when you stop drinking.
I just have to try not to eat sweet stuff late at night because I think it contributes to not sleeping well.
Speaking of which, I’m off to bed, I’m soooo tired. It’s not quite 9pm here.
Goodnight everyone

Good morning everyone. Another terrible night of sleep. The anxiety was overwhelming at times! But, I didn't drink. I decided to get up at 5 AM, as sleep was just not happening, and got in a little exercise. Even though I have only slept about 4 hours in the last two days, I feel WAY better than when I would wake up all hung over. Cheers to that! Praying tonight gets a little better for sleep/anxiety. Have a good day everyone! Off to meetings. Blah.

Day 11 for me. Emotions are all over the place, trying to stay busy. Not sure what's up with all the chocolate I'm eating? I didn't know I even liked chocolate?
Going to stock up on fruit tomorrow, no doubt a healthier indulgence.
Hope you all have a great night and sleep well!

So funny. I LOVE chocolate. Couldn't eat it at all when I was drinking....guess I was already in a sugar overload.
Now I eat it....occasionally.
Lovely to meet you and welcome and I hope you have a good day and enjoy your fruit.
