8 days. Nothing big but it's a start

Well I didn't think I'd make it this far and the horizon looks brighter every second. Woke up my first Saturday in 3 years without a hangover. Now this is living!

8 days is amazing!! I remember when I couldn't even get 1 or 2 days.

One day sober is a MIRACLE for any alcoholic/addict.

8 days is huge longhaul. It's so lovely to wake up with a clear head and no panicky moments wondering what happened the night before. It'll keep getting better.
