Day 25
Day 25 is done. I go on SR, post, read, and wait for cravings, and...they are not coming. Good.
I realize that I miss those first 2 hours of every binge, when it's still fun and I could be in denial of what was coming. I wish I didn't need alcohol to get that "happy" feeling, but I also know that any "happiness" that comes from alcohol is phony, fleeting, and leads to horrible things, in fact, just the opposite of happiness. So....here I am, and sober I want to stay.

Awesome Fortress! Looking forward to catching you ha ha
YES - I miss the "happy" feeling from the first few drinks too - but I am happier now that for the last 12 days I have NOT been the guy who cracks a beer at 5 (ok 4:30) and then sits on the couch or goes out to the bar and says "I'll do all that other stuff tomorrow"
