Hi, Angie-

Good for you!!!! Isn't it amazing that by cutting out alcohol so many branches of our life improve?! I too have sweet little boys who deserve a sober mommy. They are my world :)

I am looking forward to 20 days.
Excellent job!

You're doing well, Angie! :)

Finding this is the greatest I have felt in over 25 yrs.

Hi Angie247
I think writing down the way you're feeling will be a massive help to you. In my experience it's a massive emotional release.

7 weeks sober today!! Yay!!! I'm so happy. There have been cravings and life isn't perfect but it's so much better!! I'm starting after 39 years to finally take baby steps into liking myself. Thank you for this website and all the wonderful people on here. You guys ROCK!!!! <3 :grouphug:

7 weeks - great news, Angie! So happy for you.

Congratulations Angie :)

Wow Angie, you have got your act together! Congrats to you. Keep up the good work. You are inspiring me to do more to be sure I stay sober. I love the idea of your "happiness notebook!" Gonna' steal that idea for sure!
All the best to you Sweetie..

That was an inspiring post. Thanks

Big congrats, Angie!

It's technically tomorrow on the east coast so I'm calling it early here and saying that I'm TWO MONTHS SOBER!!! Woot! 8 weeks sober. Wow. Who would have thunk it? Well, since I tried to keep my drinking under wraps then I would have never "thunk" it. Yes, I know I'm still in early recovery but I'm just so happy about these two months. I don't miss the hangovers, the anxiety, worrying about when I had to stop drinking on Sunday so I would be ok-ish for Monday at work. I wasn't ever okay at work on Monday, it was a miserable existence throughout the week. I would often call Monday my recovery day (to myself) and count the minutes until I could go home to sleep. Also, hoping that I did not reek of alcohol. I'm smelling good nowadays. :) I love a good clean scent or a light fragrance. and people can smell that on me now. :) I did often drink during the week but most of the time I would drink two beers and be all depressed that I couldn't drink more. What a horrible life that was and I don't want it back. I'm scared of thoughts like just a couple won't hurt or other insane thoughts but I've gotten through them. I wish I had done this sooner but at least I'm doing it now. So, yay for 8 weeks and here's to many, many more! Shooting for the rest of my (hopefully long) life. :)

Most hearty congratulations! I just passed two months on Saturday too and it's a great feeling. We've come a long way from those first tentative steps but I'm still often reminded how my sobriety is still fragile and needs protecting. I make it my number 1 priority every day. Anything else can wait.

It continues to be a pleasure to share the path with you and the others in our group!

Looking forward to 10 weeks!

Congrats on the eight weeks Angie. Looking good.

Huge ups for two months, Angie! Keep on keeping on!

We had a very stressful meeting at work, and I didn't even think about alcohol during it or afterwards for a long time. I think that's pretty good. Survived the meeting and I just want to get a good nights sleep tonight. Tomorrow is another (sober) day. Day 60 will be on Friday. Yay! :)

Just wanted to congratulate Angie 247 and Amp 123 on approx 2 months of sobriety. I'm working on day 4 here but feeling well and getting back to a level of normalcy. You guys have me 2 months behind but that doesn't matter if we are all going in the same direction. Blessings to you all.
