Something strange is happening to me, and it started recently. I've been sober for 86 days now, after years of daily drinking. 10-20 shots of vodka a day. I've never felt more happy, more productive, more healthy than I do right now.

With that being said, I've recently started to get my gag reflex kickin' in when I read posts on here about how much people drank. I haven't puked for 86 days. I used to puke almost daily from withdrawals/hangovers. It feels just like that familiar feeling when I stood above the toilet, ready to hurl the contents of my stomach (then gargle with, and swallow some vodka shot after puking).

I didn't think that words could make me feel physically ill! That's it. Have a fantastic sober week everyone.

Some people have that reaction to hearing drinking stories, I know I do. I know that some even find them to be triggering for them, stirring up the old cravings. On SR, I am able to tune them out to a large extent, but I avoid groups of people telling their drinking stories like the plague.
