Congratulations on two weeks! Your body will keep recovering as you stay sober, it's ability to heal itself after years of abuse can be pretty remarkable.

The headaches are lessening.

Less waking up with them, and some mild ones in the daytime.

Getting better though!

Thanks all for being here!

30 Days, not 1 drop of anything.

Not even a toke of smoke.

One of these days, cigarettes will be gone too!

EIGHT WEEKS!

Wow. Still easier than I ever thought.

Allergy Season really does exist! I never noticed it while I was Drinking, probably because I was too Drunk or Hungover to notice!

Welcome. I like this place too. You have the opportunity to stop now with only slight hangovers. Trust me, you don't want to get into the type of hangovers I had.

Really any consumption of alcohol make somebody feel like crap. My sister-in-law and I went out about a year ago when I was still drinking and she had four beers and said she was so sick the next day. It made me laugh at the time, thinking oh my god how could somebody have a hangover from four beers?

It dehydrates you and is just poison to your body. Period. Healthy happy people don't even really drink. Life is so much better without drinking.

Welcom Absentia, well done on eight weeks. It's also nice to meet someone who knows how to spell arse correctly. Tell me, does your wife like the new you?
