Oh yeah!!
I've been sober since August 25th. What a ride it's been! I'm feeling fantastic and very excited about 2010
I actually started the new year by breaking a bottle of Champagne. It wasn't on purpose. It was given to me to burst open and when I did I accidedently lost it on the floor and it smashed all over. haha. Everyone laughed and I liked the symbolism
All the best to all of you in the year 2010. Without this board I'm not sure I would be here today. Thank you!!

Coming to end of day 3 for me. Anyone had any withdrawal symptoms? You read about things in the books but any real-life stuff? For me, craving sweet things and eating more than usual. Sleep is difficult to get to but better when I do. Feel a bit down tonight which is unusual.

How wonderful to read these posts from newbies and old-timers alike! It's the morning of Day 4 for me and I'm starting to feel good again. Withdrawal for me is minor but I've had lots of digestive issues, insomnia, and brain-fog. Day 2 I had a lot of sweating and, yes, I am craving sweets.
Last night we had company over; two other couples. One of the guests was a very good friend who has been sober herself now for several months. When I started this journey myself a year ago I had fervently wished for her to get into recovery, and now she is and I am starting over. It was good to have someone else there who sipped on n/a drinks all night.
I did have a couple of moments of brief temptation, but I let them go, and it was fine. This morning I have a clear head, but my husband is still asleep and snoring beside me. He drank several beers.
Well, that is the report for now. I am so happy to see so many people tossing their hats into this ring for renewed commitment this year. What an awesome group!

Day 7 just wrapping up. 2010: let's do this!! Keep going everyone, I am pulling for you!
Thx!

Wow, this thread is fantastic! 
It's wonderful to read all these posts from people who are motivated and feeling good. I definitely had withdrawl issues when I stopped drinking and I don't ever want to go through that again. I was a closet drinker and drank at home, alone, and tried my best to hide it from everyone.
I hope you all keep reading and posting and find SR as great a lifeline as I do.
