Day 16!

I made it past the 2 week mark and feel good today!

Last night I slept non-stop for 7 hours. Something I have not done before in years (many years). My mind is so clear it is scary!

I did have a tough Saturday late afternoon. I was really getting testy. I was just angry but not at anyone in particular. I think it was because I wanted to have a drink but knew I couldn't.

Best wishes to all of you where ever you are in your sober journey.

Fabulous, great job on 16 days!

Glad you got some rest - the father away from the booze, the easier natural sleep becomes.......

Keep up the good work!

You are doing well, Martin; congratulations on 16 sober days and a good night's sleep!!!!!

Have you heard of HALT?

Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired

These situations/feelings tend to be common triggers for many of us.

It's great to recognize them and have a plan in place for a healthy response to each.

Congrats on 2 weeks Martin

I found I got a lot less irritable the more I realised what I had to be grateful for.
Not everyone gets a second chance
