Welcome to the newcomers 
And congratulations on everyone accumulating days free of addictions, great work!
It does get easier after the first few days. I think my first week was the hardest.
Phoebe I hear you re the snoring, uggghhh.... I need a nap every day lol. Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to sleep during the day, so I go to bed early and try to catch a couple of hours before the snoring starts off next to me.

Welcome RAL, and hope today gets better. The only way is through it.
Hi Countrystix!
Willow, haha, that’s my trick too, to try to get settled in with earplugs before he comes to bed. But, last night I made the mistake of the late nap, so just couldn’t get there ahead of him.
Good morning V, and thanks 💕. I think it’s improving already. 🤞🏻

Thanks everyone. Feeling much better now. Got quite a lot done today too. It's going to be a sunny weekend so got a pile of books to read and will sit out. Looking forward to waking in the morning hangover free.
Hope everyone is having a good day x

Checking in. Made my green juice, it tastes horrible! But i figure it is, hopefully, giving my body an extra boost and after decades of abuse I deserve to give it a helping hand in healing. Going to get some work done in the yard and perhaps a walk. I've been taking an easy this first week or so, giving my body a chance to adjust and slowly add more activity as i feel up to it. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good day. Onwards

Hi everyone just checking in here, the end of day 5 feeling positive this time.hopefully it lasts.
Congrats to you all on your milestones, and welcome to any newcomers aswell. I totally also can relate to Phoebe and BFG, My husband and I were the exact same way. The last few nights he had a few beers and then the snoring starts lol, he has cut down a lot since I have to be fair but he also wants to give up and he says tonight is his last night so we will see. I hope if he does then it might make it easier for me aswell unless we end up getting on each others last nerve 😂

Congratulations on 5 days kp and OTP
OTP I totally relate as well. My partner snores all the time, but it’s worse when he’s been drinking. He has said a few times that he’s stopping drinking, and fair play to him, he drinks a lot less than he used to. He now often only has 1 beer after work.
I don’t know how he does it. A normie I guess. I would never have just 1, unless we’re talking about 1 bottle of wine. And regret it the next day with a feeling of futility and shame and a hangover, but be intensely craving more by lunchtime. Yuk. No thanks.
It’s the sober road now.
I don’t miss going to bed trying desperately not to breathe alcohol fumes on my partner, pulling a pillow over my face to stop my breath flow, tossing and turning and sweating, waking at 3am with a pounding racing heart and intense anxiety, tossing and turning and worrying for hours, finally getting up with a horrible headache and doughy foggy head, and upset belly. Feeling like death warmed up until I could start drinking again. Counting the hours and minutes until I could pour another drink. Planning everything around drinking. Hiding little bottles in my bag and car and cupboards, for “emergencies “. A slave to alcohol.
I really like this quote:
“Give up everything for one thing, or give up one thing for everything”
This statement really hit home for me.
I choose to give up one thing, for everything.
I want everything, all of my life back, with all the joy, not the one thing found in the bottom of a bottle (misery).
