I am so blessed, I am so happy, I am sleeping, I have lost weight, my emotions are balanced, depression has lifted, I feel in control. I pray nightly for strength to keep being my better self. I know in my head and in my heart that one drink is too many and a thousand not enough.

Thanks for reading....sorry its not more prophetic....

One day at a time....

Congratulations on two weeks! You've got this! Now you're starting to get glimpses of the stability that lies ahead. For me that was really the first time I started to have hope.

I am a day behind you and feel same as you.. I was scared of sobriety at first but Iam getting used to it.. Still baby steps but getting there.. Love getting up in the mornings without a dry mouth, tired as really what dies an alcohol sleep give you, not a proper rest.. Now I actually feel rested. Life is good at the moment.. Good work keep it up!!!

Congrats, kitty! Those first couple weeks are hard but rewarding. It will keep getting better as those drinking days fade away behind you.

Thanks for the support everyone..I feel sort of silly to be honest...I guess because 15 days with no booze shouldn't be something of a celebration for anyone. I don't know why but it makes me harder on myself and brings a bit of self loathing out in me. I am soldiering on...remembering how good I feel. I think 'just say no' is the best plan for me. I have had a few moments of utter "meh, no more wine at family dinners???" but won't let them get me. Some of the best advice on these boards include "play the tapes through" and "just ride out the moment." So far, so good.

Y'know I understand that viewpoint - but when you drank like I did, any day sober is worthy of celebration

It's plenty prophetic, goodkitty. I'm so glad to read of your 15 days.
