Two weeks!

Today will be exactly two weeks for me! I honestly can't even believe how different things are already. I've been going to meetings daily and I'm so full of joy and gratitude. I didn't realize that the last 16 years spent numbing my pain also muted my joy. I am feeling things fully and I honestly haven't had an urge to drink since that time I posted during week one. I know it's a process but I already feel like I've made leaps and bounds in my thinking and approach to life. Thank you all. Even when I don't participate, I read what you all are posting and it inspires me!

Great post - Sounds like you've made some real progress and you are doing the work! Good for you! Congrats!!!

Thanks for sharing the joy part with us; it's a good reminder that when we drink or use drugs we miss everything and that includes feelings of true happiness! So cool you are noticing that.

Take care and keep doing it! Half way to 30!!!

Congrats!

2 weeks is amazing! Today marks 1 week for me! It's unbelievable how much sobriety affects your view on the world. For me, it's no longer a dark place that can only be made tolerable by intoxication. There's a lot of good in the world too, and the best way to appreciate it is with a clear head.

Keep up the good work!
