1st week
 
I am 7 days sober today. I feel really good about it and better about myself. I don't feel so hopeless and futureless. For today I have no desire to drink. That is a miracle, just a few days ago I could not imagine feeling this way. I could not wrap my mind around never drinking again, and today I am okay with that. I hope I continue to feel this way.

Keep working on your recovery and your inner self and that good feeling should stick around. For the first two or three months I was sober but still unhappy. I started practicing gratitude every day and my attitude improved... and that improved my whole life.:)

Congrats on your sober week. :scoregood

Also on day 7 today and I feel similar to you. I feel like 7 days is such big progress and I don't want to mess it all up by drinking again, plus I don't really have much desire to drink. The hangover-free mornings have been really worth it to me! It's really crazy to think that 7 days ago, I don't think I could've come up with a single excuse NOT to drink.
