Day 139
Hello everyone
I haven't been around much, but I have been doing fairly well. The first 100 days were extremely strange, a few weeks of happiness, a few very dark pits I felt lasted forever after that. I am currently coming out of one of those.
It's funny, I have not had a single craving for a drink, nor has it even been a part of my mind even though I was in a state of hopelessness for a few weeks. (My issue is I can't seem to stop overthinking, or following every dark or scary thought trying to fight it. I am in que for counselling atm.) This is a welcome change from my prior two attempts at sobriety lasting longer than a few months. Today I feel good, today I feel strong, today I can face the world as long as I remain in today and not in some imaginary future.
I am going to get more involved in the forum as well. I feel a sense of family from this site, which I need in my life.
Thanks!

Hi Ekohe,
Nearly 20 weeks - good going. I'm at Day 134 myself so not far behind you.
As you say, the first 100 days are full of ups and downs. I too am an over-thinker so can relate. The waves of anxiety are beginning to diminish though and for that I am grateful. I agree that once past the first few weeks the cravings aren't too bad. My AV still has its moments though...
Good luck. Forwards.
