Two Months today
Going well.
No plan to give it up forever, just working to change my behaviour & attitude towards alcohol, and leave binge drinking in the past.
Three months is my goal, with the option to extend.
anxiety reduced greatly, but not entirely gone yet.

(((HA))) - Congratulations on 2 months! I gave myself 6 months to see if I wanted recovery or addiction. "Forever" just seemed to be too much, but am glad to report that I had made up my mind for recovery before my 6-month deadline.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

It's not all brilliant though.
My social life pretty much sucks. I rarely go out unless it's a big event (30ths, weddings, university etc)
On the plus side though, I have met a woman. We've gone out a few times & communicate one way or another frequently. There may even be potential as i really like her. I never feel the need to drink when I'm with her.
The thought of getting drunk and sending arbitrary text messages, making phone calls & sending social media messages to her is almost unbearable.
So that in itself keeps me away from the grog.

Congratulations on 2 months 
Try to be patient HA - it took me 20 years to put myself in the hole I was in...looking back now, I'm just grateful it didn't take a similar amount of time to get out again
Living sober, and being fulfilled & happy about it, is a skill we learn as we go along - give it time
