End of day 4
First time in over 3 years I've done 4 days no alcohol
Noted so far:-
Work is easier
Mentally I feel better (still feel a bit lost? And foggy?)
Driving is a privelege knowing I'm doing it legally and joyfully
I'm eating
Drinking water
Laughing a bit more
Waking up is the best feeling ever. Starting a fresh day over
Only 4 Days, of beautiful, real, life 😊

Folk that make day 90 don't ever want to drink again. But that not important, make it to day 7 and let us know and we'll help from there.

Hi and welcome alcoman 
4 days is a great start - and post away - no need to wait until day 7 to post again - not sure what Alba meant there.
I took it a day at a time for the first 90 days - committing to sobriety each day - & things got progressively easier altho I wouldn't say I never wanted to drink again after 90 days things certainly got a lot easier for me after that milestone

Sounds like you’re doing well.
I’m almost done with day 15. It gets better. Have done a month and a few months in the last ten years. The hardest part for me is when you start feeling good and normal is not to let your guard down. Google the symptoms and it’s not pretty. I still have tinnitus, nerve tingling, itching and some abdominal discomfort after 2 weeks.
It gets better. But if you stumble it will get worse when you try to recover again. And at some point you might not get another chance.
There’s one answer and it’s not to drink.

Good morning,
I want to toss this into the mix. And this is: I'm new to recovery myself - for the umteenth time. But this time I'm doing a few things differently. Namely, I've stopped keeping track of my sober days and it was easy to do because I went into this stretch of sobriety with a mindset to keep myself busy by living my life. I know my sober date and that's good enough. And boy does time fly - jeez! I wouldn't mind so much if it slowed down a wee bit. I'm already less than three months away from my next birthday. I JUST HAD THE LAST ONE!!
Stay mindful of the things you cherish - do them - and you just might find that you don't miss alcohol or drinking so much anymore.
