Today is 3 weeks sober for me. The longest period without alcohol in a little over a year!!

Unfortunately I've been having pain and swelling cuz of this one tooth. My dentist fit me in this morning and it's a crown that is infected underneath, grrr. Well really it's a blessing in disguise because it may explain my dragginess. It hit me at the end of January and I don't know if it was the odd bottle of whiskey in between all the beer or what but it went away on it's own and just came back a few days ago. So I'm glad to have an antibiotic, hopefully I'll feel better overall when the infection clears up.
Then I get to go back for the real fun.

Congrats on 3 weeks - that's awesome!

I hate teeth (!), but I'm glad you got treated and are on your way to feeling better. I found that I had no energy/motivation for a while after I got sober, but hang in there because it gets better!

Teeth are a major pita. Pita, pita, pita..

I'm sorting through the stack of unopened mail, mostly junk but I sorted it and the bills are not as bad as I feared they would be. Apparently I did pay some stuff in March. No utility shutoffs looming!!! Yay!!!

Definitely hate teeth. It never ends.

Good for you for taking care of it.

My dentist commented on my improving health of my gums...didn't tell him I had quit drinking..but I think he knew- you can tell a lot by a person's teeth/gum health I think.

Congrats on your sober time! I hear you on the dental thing. I just went through the fun of an infected molar. First a root canal, then anti-biotics, finally the thing just had to be yanked out. Then my dentist discovers another problem, so I'm now being fitted for a crown on the other side. In the past, I would've really amped up the drinking. So much easier to deal with these things sober
