Day 9
Today is day 9 of being sober and I have to say I feel really good. At least a lot better than I did 9 days ago!! I have a pretty serious anxiety disorder and it has become clear that I used alcohol as a relief from that constant state of worry. The problem is that relief is soooo temporary! And the aftermath is like 10 times worse than the initial anxiety.
I have been tempted a few times, but I play out what happens after that first drink in my mind and I let myself envision the end of the night...or the next morning...and suddenly I don't feel like I'm missing that much.
Overall, I feel really positive. I know hard days will still hit me now and then, but I think I have finally realized this is the ONLY way for me to have a healthy life.
