168 hours and counting...

I just officially completed one full week without any alcohol. While this pales in comparison to many on here, I'm ecstatic! I feel much better than I did a week ago at this time, both physically and mentally.

I started to get ahead myself and look forward to two weeks sober, but realized that I'm setting myself up for a long week if I do that, so instead, I can't wait for day eight!

Reading and posting here has been very cathartic. I love the support I see here on a daily basis.

Have a fantastic and sober Wednesday!

It doesn't pale into comparison at all we all started somewhere and built from that - you have every right to feel ecstatic and happy for you too - keep going

Well done to you all,

I found day 3 the hardest of all, the day after my hangover, the day that my mind was saying to me "yeah you're okay now, let's do it again".

It all got progressively better from day 4

Congrats! It's been awhile since I've been able to do a week. But today is a new day. Not feeling too great so I'll keep my fingers crossed

You can do it, Marissa! Getting past the withdrawals and feeling good again is so very much worth it!

This post has really helped me. I have 3 days and I had forgotten how much better I will feel after one week- you reminded me and it has lifted my spirits. Congrats and thanks.
