I just want to offer my support—
and also share an interesting thing that happened—
I used to snore horribly. My husband couldn’t sleep, and separate rooms were on the horizon.

Guess what happened when I stopped drinking?

Haven’t snored since. And I sleep like a rock, too.

You can do this! thinking of you!

Sounds like you are really digging in for the long haul Brian—well done on closing in on Week 1! What kind of small reward or activity can you do for yourself to celebrate?

Day 9 Done

Made it to Day 9. First time in years I've gone more than a week without a drink. Feels so good. Was away with my wife for the weekend and had a lovely time. So good to have a break from the madness and self destruction.

Thanks, again, for the kind words. B

Day 12 Done

Difficult day, today. Lots of thoughts. Very stressful day at work. Carrying a lot of anger. Would normally be an excuse to drink. But not today. So grateful for another sober day.
