12 days sober

Hi all just an update. I've made it through 12 days now and the worst seems to be over , the shakiness and av have subsided. Been having pangs of anxiety for no reason today but I'm sure it will pass too.
I never thought I'd get this far but reading posts here inspires me to keep going. Coming up on the second sober weekend now and I need to get a plan together to keep busy. I feel tired of thinking about not drinking , it's actually draining sometimes so I'm going to keep distracted.
Thanks everyone and wish you all a great weekend!

It is tiring to always be thinking about not drinking...but not as tiring as going back to day 1 would be.

Stay strong.

That's great, Charli23! Congratulations!
I understand and and can relate to the impatience with having to think about "not drinking" all the time. But I'm sure the more time that passes, the less that will be an issue for us.

Hang in there!
