Congrats Charliee! Good job. I hear you I would be lying if I said I never think about it. I still do, but it definately is not as intense as it use to be.

i think one of the hardest things in early days is to learn how to be happy that your sober and it must be worse for people higher up the ladder than i was as they have more to lose and dont feel that there drinking was that bad etc

so for me it was easy when i got into aa as i lost everything had no money no family no one wanted to know me other than the kind people in aa

after time my kids came back to me my ex wife went off with another drunk and i made a home for me and my kids
i started working again and getting a bit more money in and things started to go well for me
until i lost my 16 year old son to stomach cancer
i never drank over it but it sure did kick the **** out of me in all departments

now i am working hard around aa again trying to help others and getting grateful again that i still have my kids love etc
i do wonder why some people get an easy ride in this world at times but i then had to push all them thoughts out of my mind as its soul destroying to go down that road

so my point is look at what you have got in your life today
be grateful for those things that you haven't lost if you can find gratitude in your life then you will find happiness in being sober

i am not happy with life but i am truely happy i dont drink and never even think of it so there is no mental torture at all
but it does take effort daily to live a new life and life will never be fair at times but its just hard luck roll up the sleeves and just get on with it.

pitty pot time has to go in the bin as its a killer

Well done Charilee
I'm a month behind you.
Don't think about drinking every day but I do think about recovery daily.

Good job Charilee, that's good inspiration for myself and others. Day 4 for me, last night was the first time I really didn't have any bad cravings. I have to admit the coffee consumption has gone up as I've been really tired this week but the attitude is positive and I have started working out. I just need to hit the sack earlier but when I get home I have more energy and stay busy really busy rather than pour a drink and sink into the couch. Amazing how much more stuff you can get done in the evening when you're not drinking.

I hope everyone has a good day and keep up the good work.
