Red face 1 week

I'm finally 1 week sober... Its been a long seven days but I have done it. No withdrawals now, but the thought keeps entering my mind. But every time it does I keep thinking about the consequences instead of justifying the action. Thank u all for support!!

Well done! Keep it going. Just don't pick up that first drink, no matter what.

The worst is over, however many of us here usually broke a good sober spell when we were actually feeling good about ourselves and the memory of how miserable booze made us had faded. Be vigilant to stay away from people, places, things that will tempt you

Congrats on the week! Take it from me though, as you start to feel better and get all that booze outta your system, It been my expierence that the thought that maybe this time will be different creeps back into your mind. Stay Vigilant!! IF you think about picking up again post here, the support you get here will help you ride that wave until it passes.
