Still here, over a week since my last drink. It hasn't been easy but I will persevere. Crawling out from a pretty dark place that didnt take long to get to. I hope it's not too late to reverse the damage I have done to my brain and enjoy the simple things again.

Great job on 7 days! The first week is tough and you did it! It took me 2-3 weeks for my brain to clear and start feeling human again. Some days better than others so don’t worry. Just don’t drink.

Simple things....yes that is what I live for ...simple things. My goal in life is to just to live simply. You can do this. You can get up in the morning feeling good and go for a run...that is how I start every day. I feel blessed just to be able to run with a clear head and heart. Keep up the good work.

Finalcall - That is wonderful - 7 whole days! We know how hard you worked to get there. It takes a while to get used to our new life - things will continue to improve. You'll be so glad you got free.

A glimpse of optimism today which was a nice reward as such. A morning full of anxiety but by lunch time my mind was Alot clearer. In some ways im am fortunate i have a physically demanding job to distract my busy mind and burn off some of that nervous energy

Congrats on day 8 It is never too late to repair the damage. Our minds and bodies have a remarkable ability to recover.

I am definitely more aware of how how toxic my relationship with alcohol has become. Its been about 3 years of addressing drinking, having time off, thinking about it. Every time i fall just as hard if not harder. I find it scary to look back and think what would have happened if i never acknowledged my problem then and just let it fully take control.
but here I am now with enough rise and falls to know that a way out is possible, and with the right attitude and associated hard work i can become more than a drunk for myself and those i care about.

Hi FC - well done for getting back on the horse. My experience was my anxiety and low mood got progressively better and by ten weeks I was aware it had lifted completely! Time!!

I love sober sleep. Going to sleep feeling good and waking up the same way.

Allow yourself all the sleep your body is asking for. During sleep we heal.
