I have one week today! Made it through the weekend. I felt so amazing waking up early on Easter morning sober. I enjoyed the entire day with my family and cooking. Even though it was exhausting, it was better than lying in bed all day hungover. I am never going back to that sad existence. I feel stronger making it through the weekend. Still not sleeping great and having low energy, a bit of nausea here and there as well, but so much better than feeling sick with uncontrollable anxiety. Don't get me wrong, still having anxiety, but in shorter waves and not so terrible. My inlaws are making a surprise last minute visit this week, which is a good thing. We only see them a few times a year and we always have a lot of fun with them. I have been doing two online meetings a day and throwing myself into my recovery books and any documentary I can find to watch or listen to. I'm also reading old journals of mine which has helped tremendously. Reading here everyday as well. Thank you all for your support! Planning on attending face to face meetings soon. Kind of laying low in the house since I'm not feeling 100%. I have a hard time functioning on such little sleep, but I am going to make it a priority once I feel ok to leave the house by myself. I am enjoying the online meetings and even shared the other day

I remember saying, "I am a week sober! Seven Days. IN A ROW!!"

I'm now well over five years without a drink. Keep it going, it keeps getting better. Go You!

Congratulations, you never have to do that 1st week ever again!

It sounds like you are willing to do what it takes to stay sober. Willingness is key! I have just celebrated one year of continuous sobriety so I can tell you this for a fact, my life today is 1000x better than when I was drinking. Keep going. Choose sobriety every day. I promise you , you won't ever regret not drinking
