2 Weeks and 2 Days
Today I'm at 2 weeks and 2 days. Had a difficult moment yesterday that I got through and I'm so happy now. Waking up still sober, on my day off, it's wonderful! I slept really well and decided to make this a "lazy day" to relax. I have no obligations and I'm going to wander around, just relaxing. Doing what I want. It's the perfect way to reward myself for staying sober. Especially since I noticed that the past 2 weeks were a little more stressful than I was aware of at the times.
So I just crawled out of bed. I woke up and ended up staying in bed for an hour, just relaxing and enjoying the comfort.
Something changed yesterday, I feel it. I got triggered heavily but snapped out of it. And since I did, I still feel different. I feel free from it and unattached to it. It's not part of my life. I simply don't drink. No big deal, I'm just someone who doesn't drink.
That has freed up a lot of energy and attention because in the past few weeks it wasn't on my mind a lot consciously, but it was still there on a subtle level without me being aware of it. Now I see that that has diminished and I expect it to go away gradually.
So today is a fresh start as well. It feels like it.
I feel so much better now. The detox is over. My brain is still recovering but that is going well. I am more focused and clear. Things aren't so hard to do anymore. Before even small chores would feel really heavy to do. Now that's back to normal.
I look better too. Healthier. Happier. No, actually I should say happy. When I was drinking I was miserable. Now I feel much better.
Thanks so much to everyone. This place is crucial for me getting and staying sober.
Now I'm going to be lazy for the rest of the day.

Actually, I have given the counting thing some good thought. Officially it's day 17.
Usually, when you count a week, from Monday to Tuesday counts as one. So Tuesday is one day. But when you consider Monday to be day 1, next Monday is day 8. And the Monday after that is day 15.
I quit on a Wednesday and I count the next Wednesday as 1 week. Which is also 8 days. When I'm one year sober, I celebrate that on July 1st, since I quit on July 1st. But counted in days, it's actually 366.
I was bored so I ended up thinking about this.
But it's my way of counting and I'm sticking to it!
