One week today!!!

Finally on the one week mark, and it has been a looong and weird week, but think some of the health anxiety is fading, however, every ache and twinge still frightens me! But I also know, every day sober is healing my body, mind, and spirit! It has been nice being able to go to my child’s end of the year parties this week and not be HUNGOVER and not worrying about smelling like a brewery or looking like I got run over like a truck and feeling that way! Yesterday was odd and I felt a lot of weepiness and guilt for all I had done over the years, but I’m going to take that as a reminder of how I can stay sober now and work on healing myself and relationships. I’m still very sleepy come the afternoon, but have started taking melatonin at night so may have something to do with it. I’m taking vitamins daily and eating very well, but may have a treat tonight for my first week sober😊. It has been a few years since I have abstained from drink for a week! My binge drinking days are hopefully very far behind me! I still have zero desire to drink, but am not disillusioned by the “pink cloud”, just taking it one day at a time. But I do feel proud and hope to stay in this forum a long time, it has really helped to share and not have to feel ashamed and alone. Today I choose to not drink alongside all of you! Have a nice, relaxing, and SOBER long weekend all!!🌸🌼🌺

I had so many false starts, I was thrilled to make it one week.

I'm so happy for you, AmbyMarie. You can do this!

Congratulations!

One week is a mile stone that is hard to reach in the beginning but with perseverance will turn into much longer before you know it.
