Still anticipating hangovers lol
Day 36 for me, and I had to count on the calendar to know that number. I think that me losing track of the # is a good sign that I'm doing well. That sounds weird, I know. I think at this point I am just going to do 15 and 30 day milestones and tell everyone that's what I'm doing so they stop asking me what day I'm on.
And -- rant coming -- I find people asking me the day to be irritating, like an accusation. If I don't go to work one day, one of my family asks oh, what day are you on? I can be sick for other reasons than being hungover! I know they have good intentions, but I guess I should tell them it doesn't come across like that at all.
I still wake up occasionally and do a quick check, looking for my hangover, before I recall oh, you have to drink to have a hangover lol. It is actually a surprise every Saturday right now, waking up and assessing if I feel nauseated or dizzy, and finding out I'm not. I guess that instinct to check that before fully waking up will pass with time, at least it is a pleasant surprise for me that all I am craving is coffee!
Thanks for listening to me rant. Have a great and sober Saturday!!

I did the exact same thing this morning. And when I realized I wasn't hungover, I was so giddy with excitement I could hardly stand it. Sure made fighting through those cravings last night worth it !
Carpe Diem !!
