Nearly 3 weeks

Tomorrow I will have three weeks of continuous sobriety. I am starting to feel better finally. I don't want to drink. I don't want to return to the vicious cycle of hell that is addiction ... I have been reading SR, focusing on spiritual growth, and sucking it up when anxiety and emotions get out of control. I have just surrendered to discomfort and awfulness and on a few occasions and the feelings eventually dissipated. Now I have some hope, some clarity, and I am sure it will keep getting better as I am only at the very beginning. Going one day at a time.

Congrats on 3 weeks. Im back to my early sobriety stages once again and from my experience i know that meditation and exercises helps with anxiety and cravings. Keep up the good work!

" I have just surrendered to discomfort and awfulness and on a few occasions and the feelings eventually dissipated."

I think for us the only possibility lies in complete surrender.

3 wks. is fabulous, Spartan. I began feeling really good around that time too. It's great to see how positive & determined you are.
