Made it through a 3-day Weekend!!
Hi ~ This is probably the first 3 day weekend I've made it through sober in the past 10 years! I kept myself busy and man am I surprised at all I accomplished! It's amazing what you can get done not being drunk or hungover 
This is day 7 and I feel great! I did have a craving last night but as I have seen posted before it only lasts for a bit. I waited it out and read a magazine. Twenty minutes later it had passed! I am so glad I read that it will pass in only a matter of time. That's the first time I tried "waiting it out". I guess that's where a sponsor would come in handy?? I have also had dreams every night that I was drunk and when I have woken up I am so proud and thankful that it was only a dream! Whew! I feel so much more healthy already. I am hoping my skin starts to clear up pretty soon and maybe shed a few pounds. I plan on getting addicted to exercise! I know I need to give my body a little transition time and not shock it too much so I am going to wait a few more days. I am determined to get those liver numbers down by the time I get it checked again in 6 months! This time feels different for some reason. I can actually picture my "normal" future and see good things ahead! I am so blessed to have found this forum! Thank you all for all of your knowledge and experience. I love SR!
