Day 30

Well here I am on day 30! After several day 1's and struggling to get past them I am very happy about my sobriety. The first 2 weeks I think were the worst for me with the detoxing, drinking dreams, insane mood swings and headaches. Something I hopefully will never have to experience again. The past week I have had some cravings but kept reminding myself how much I would hate myself the next day if I decided to go out and drink and reminded myself of why I quit drinking to begin with. I feel like Ive gone thru so many emotions these past 30days then I have in the last 10yrs being that I am no longer numbing myself. Even my worst sober day is better then a day of drinking.

Congrats! It's no small feat to get through 30 days! Also, I love this: "Even my worst sober day is better then a day of drinking." Thanks for reminding me of that.

Oh lord, mood swings! For me early sobriety was like having PMS in a full moon. One thing I can promise you is that it gets better. 30 days is a very big accomplishment and I hope you feel proud of yourself.
