One week!
Made it One whole week sober! I've been focusing on healing all the damage alcohol has caused as well as exercising a lot.

I have really found that it helps with the acute insomnia from quitting.

I'm pretty happy right now. It seems like the emotional stuff is starting to go away.

Start a thread and keep everyone posted. You will find NO lack of support. Whatever you go through, someone here has been there already.

Justin, those sleep issues plagued me in my early days. But just wait until you get that first good nights sleep + no hangover. Sweeeeeet
