Happy Monday Sober Peeps! Back to the grindstone for me…. Though I don’t grind stones. I don’t even work with stones. 🤔 I need a more applicable saying. Anyway y’all have a great day!!
Hope everyone's day is starting (or ending) awesome! IWNDWYT!
I will not be drinking today. Officially 2 months today since my last drink. Some days are harder than others, but overall drinking at night as I used to do is starting to become a past memory. Except when watching a show or movie and someone is drinking, that gives me a little urge to drink. But not a strong one that I have problems to dismiss, just an used to feel good while drinking feeling . Once I reminded myself how bad I used to feel the next day after drinking, the urge just disappeared. It feels good to wake up in the morning without the fear of what I said, texted the night before, and of course no headache. My energy went up about 2 to 3 weeks after I stopped drinking, but now I’m back to being tired again, hopefully I’ll get it back up again. Good luck everyone in your journey.
Two months is huge. Congratulations!
YES!!! Congrats! I don’t miss the morning wake up text panic either!
I'm two weeks sober again after doing medical detox. The insomnia is fucking killing me. The urge to drink myself to sleep is real lately. But I'm still in the mindset of staying sober for now at least.
Congratulations, everyday that passes without drinking will bring the urge down. The beginning is hard but it gets better with time. Try to keep yourself busy, that also helps. Good luck in your journey.
Congrats on two weeks! It gets better. We are here for you rant away.
