one month

It has been one month since my last drink, I really didnt think I could go this far and I know I have a long way to go. I feel great even though I still am not sleeping all the time. I feel like a new man, I am thinking straight and I feel great physically and emotionally. I wish I would of done this along time ago.

It feels great being sober!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go.

As far as things being a long way to go... just one day at a time is all it takes and how we all get through it.

Congratulations on the collection of days.

That is awsome one month, yesssssssssssssssssssss I am proud of you and I am proud of all of us who can stay sober and clean for today. It is not easy but we can do the deal if we really want too. And as far as the sleep, one thing that helps me is to take a personal inventory at night before I go to sleep and see if I have harmed anyone by my words, actions, etc. Then I can usually sleep ok but I have a real hard time still sleeping I might get 4 or 5 hours a night if that and I am usually up 3 times during that period but I know that it does get better just hang in there.

Way to go Okietiger!!!!!!! I just finished my 14th day yesterday, so I'm 2 weeks right behind you. It really does feel great being sober. No hangovers, saving $15 a day, (that adds up quick!), we can remember yesterday, we can think clearer, and the list just goes on & on!
Not many good things we can say for being drunk is there?

Again, Awesome 30 day hurdle Okietiger!

Hi and Congrats!

I'm on day 23 (I know I said that yesterday but I was a day ahead of myself) and I'm not sleeping well either. I hope that gets better. But otherwise I too feel wonderful! Keep it up!!

Hey Okie,

The Baseball All Star game is tonight. Not that it really matters. What really matters is College Football season is getting closer!!

Go Navy Beat Army.

WOO HOO

Exercise really does help, but I found I could sleep better with some of the herbal teas available.. like "nighty night" and "Wellness Sleepytime"
