Checking in.
 
Doing well. Went to meetings everyday since quitting except for today because I really couldn't find one and I have this gross eye thing going on. But I went hiking and prayed and have no desire to drink, so I'll just have to wait until tomorrow for my Book Study group.

I haven't found a sponsor yet. I'm having a hard time going up to people because of my social anxiety and shyness, but I'm sure it will happen soon. I'm starting to come out of my shell a little bit.

I guess I'm on day 8 or 9. I've stopped obsessing about the number of days and started just concentrating on getting down to the business of sobriety. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Sounds like you're off to a great start. Keep up the good work!

Just one foot in front of the other at this point. Starting to feel more like myself (the good one, not the drunk one).

Good work, Bird!

Hey...was wondering where you were! So glad you're taking care of yourself!

Thanks, B. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but it's getting better every day. I had to slow down and tell myself that it's a marathon, not a sprint. There's a certain peace in realizing that fact.

So very true, my friend!
Well done!
