Thumbs up Day 7!!!! One week ago today I felt much different than I do today

Day 7!!!!!! I cant believe it. A whole week. :bounce One day at a time. And looking back, it actually flew by. Last weekend I was in bad space. Felt really hopeless. Today I dont feel like that. Chance and Dancingirl have 7 days today also.

It's amazing how much damage can be done every hour while using, and how much growth and recovery can happen every moment that we're sober!!

Congrats!

Yea, us!!! I've been so sleepy this week, I wonder if it's coming off the booze? So happy to look better, though! Who knew not drinking could help my appearance?! LOL!

Thanks for thinking of me! I'm thinking of you all, too.

Congratulations! I am so very happy for you. You sounded so discouraged in some of your posts that I worried about you. God Bless.

Yes, I was very sleepy from week 2 thru about week 10 of sobriety. I do not know what causes this but based on the reaction of the people in my home group this is pretty common.

This is some real happy news to read today. I am proud of you all. I remember my first week or 30 days like it was yesterday. So, I do know how you feel.

Thank's for sharing your good news, made my day. :bounce

Boy can I relate to what you are saying. Part of the reason I fell of the wagon last week was, because I told myself I would have more energy. Well that work for the first day and then... well you know!

In a few hours I'll be on my day 6. I'm dried out and feeling much better, but tired all the time. Just wish I would sleep better at night. My dreams are so vivid it's like I'm awake. God... I hope I don't have to go through 10 weeks of feeling tired all the time.

The folks on this forum are just great about sharing their experiences! :ghug2
