Week 3!
 
Hi Guys!

So, the last time I came here (which was also the first time I posted here) I was in a really bad place. I was trashed and high and don't even remember what it was I wrote - to be honest I am far to MORTIFIED to even read it haha!! What's even more terrifying is that I couldn't delete what I wrote the next day when I woke up in a cold sweat, freaking out about what kinds of embarassing things I might have said!!

I suppose though, not being able to delete it means that when I am tempted to go out and drink again i'll be able to read it and remember exactly why I shouldn't!!!!

Anyhow, it's now been more than two weeks since i've gotten drunk or touched any drugs. I'd say I haven't drank at all, except I had a glass of wine with the old man late into the first week of sobriety....the good thing though was that I was able to stop myself from having a second. I suppose that's progress.

Things are already getting clearer for me - like a fog has been lifted from my head. And I don't miss those hangovers one little bit. Not one.

I'll tell you though, I sure am getting my moneys worth out of my coffee maker - the damn thing is working 24/7 these days haha!

I suppose the trick now is going to be finding something other than drinking to do on the weekends and when I go out. I've been doing it for so long I don't even know what else there is to do!

Well done on your sober time Snowman, three weeks is impressive, but dont ever be afraid to come back to SR, most of us have posted something we regret (well i have) and what do you know its just not a big deal.

Way to go Snoman. You can always come here to post or the chat room. Most people here are caring and helpful.

Hey SnO,
Glad to see your back! I thought your posts were great. (the ones I saw anyway).
Congrats on 3 weeks! My coffepot is on continuous fill as well. It's a wonder I can even get any sleep at night which I usually don't very well yet, but I think over more time things will even out - otherwise I'm investing in coffee stock.
