Day 41
I kind of hate how my weekends go by so fast; what's worse is that I can't make the best of them because it's always too cold. It's funny -- I've lived here my entire life, but I don't remember hating any winter as much as this one. What's weirder is that the forecast is expecting it to hit 70 on Wednesday...
Still sober!

Great job, TG! Spring is around the corner!

Still going strong. I did admittedly have a few weak cravings over the weekend, but they were relatively nothing compared to the cravings I had during the first week or so.
And yes! Spring is definitely on the way. I'm looking forward to DST, just so that the day is longer. I know it's just an illusion that the day is longer, but at least psychologically it'll make a difference.

Eh. Nothing really. Not quite in the mood. I finish my day and just look forward to coming home and relaxing on my computer a bit, but there's always noise/stress at home. I live at home with family. I'd move out if it were practical.
Whatever though. I could just be "not having one of those days" for a completely different reason. I can sometimes displace my anger on the wrong people.
I'm longer forward to the rest of this week and next!

Thanks all for the encouragement. Things are going well.
The weather today was beautiful. It just pains me knowing that it was just a one time thing... Oh well.
It feels good knowing that I'm well past the halfway point. Only ~24 days until a new record!

Nothing really going on. There is, however, one thing that I'm looking forward to -- living alone (temporarily). Everyone will be traveling, so I'll have the place to myself for at least a week, maybe more. This just means less stress and less noise.
I know what you're thinking, wouldn't that make relapse more likely? Yep, in the past I've often enjoyed times like these precisely so that I can drink freely and openly whenever I wanted. But I don't really see that as being likely this time since I'll be mostly not be home during the weekdays. And the weekends? Well, they've been getting easier.
Long story short, I'm not worried about relapse.
50 days soon!

THE BIG FIVE OH.
I haven't had any serious cravings in a longgg time, which is awesome. But I'm also thankful for being so busy. I don't think it would've been this easy if I were just home 24/7 with not much to do.
As expected, the weather took a turn downhill from last week. Granted, it's not cold, so it's not bad. But it's still below optimal for me. (Plus it's been cloudy/rainy again...)
Stay sober y'all!

It's weird. I thought that after all this, I'd begin to feel some kind of difference. I mean, on the one hand, I know objectively that my body is infinitely better off without alcohol, and I know that my mind is better off too. These things I know, but I don't feel the difference. Perhaps I haven't given it enough time yet. But that's OK. That's exactly why I'm doing this.
I'm almost there though! 18 days left.
