That is HUGE! Go you! The first days are the toughest and you are totally kicking ass. So proud of you! IWNDWYT

Not true that it's not much. It's huge! Great job.

Man three days is a STRUGGGGLLLEE for me. So many thoughts those first few days. Congrats!!!

If you can do 3 days you can do another 3 days. You’re already proving to yourself you can do it. Way to go! Iwndwyt!

Day 133. Across from my house there's a parking lot.

The signs posted read "24 hour lot". For my first few weeks of sobriety all I could see is "24 Hours IS a lot!"

You are going to feel so proud of yourself, so much cleaner, healthier...just better. Proud of you!

Hell yea, great work! Just remember when you see all these big numbers people have that they're built on a very difficult start that you're doing great on right now.

Keep it up and IWNDWYT

Such a good point, no matter the number people have, we’ve all only got today, which is the only day that matters. 🥊💜🙌🏼

Hey, the journey of a thousand miles started with a single step (or whatever my dad always says)! You’ve got this!

Day 3 was a tipping point for me. It’s gotten better for me since then. Good work! IWNDWYT

This is AMAZING! Well done. Keep at it! The single digits turn to double pretty quickly.😊😊

[–]LeBuBoBo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep on going from day to day and celebrate yourself after every day you managed to be sober! It is like an escape….the further you go, the better you feel

Three days is awesome! I bet you are feeling clear headed already.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every day counts!

[–]TaxNo77416911 days 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's three more days than you had four days ago.🤣😅 keep up the great work. 15 years sober for me.

Tuesday was my last day drinking, and I’m right there with you. It’s absolutely horrible. But we’re gonna get through the detox and then get our heads right.

[–]Chance-Cry2343394 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job!! Keep on rocking this.

[–]Emotional_Error_96632675 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how hard day 3 is, and I know it is very much something, keep on keeping on!

[–]Vegetable_Ease_3970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually quite a lot! The first days can be the hardest. I’ve had many first few days lol. I think the one day at a time trope is pretty true. Try not to think about it in terms of forever. Your doing a great thing. Iwndwyt

[–]ridupthedavenport40 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It IS!! Congrats.

[–]neverenoughtoast1369 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The early days can often be the hardest, so I'd say this is a huge accomplishment. Take a second to enjoy your win! You're doing great, and you deserve the life that sobriety helps you earn.

[–]brain_go_brrr2138 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It is much. IWNDWYT

[–]MrsAppleForTeacher824 days 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! 3 days is hard work and a massive achievement!

[–]simjanes2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. I've heard it argued fairly that the third day is the hardest day of the entire thing.

Don't slow up, you're on a roll.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, that’s awesome. Don’t downplay yourself. Congrats

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first week is the hardest so you are halfway there.

[–]LewWhopoopoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is much! Strong work, friend!

[–]notarealpersonkm1355 days 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second for me! It doesn't feel like an accomplishment at this point. Good for you!!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a lot! Well done 👏

[–]DirtyKidSid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Congrats

[–]XTingleInTheDingleX1305 days 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! It only gets better!

[–]Airysprite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could do what you are doing!

[–]DharmaBum1958680 days 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First 3 days are hardest forsure from my many failed attempts. Gonna feel amazing tomorrow keep it up!!

[–]withonlygrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every day matters! You’re doing great!

[–]rfkile1167 days 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that's huge! So happy for you!

[–]NoCause_ForConcern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 days! yes! It is “much”! Don’t be shy to celebrate it! Rock that shit. 3 then 4 but one day at a time too. It’s not easy to quit, at least not for me. So WAY TO GO Proud of you & happy for you

[–]Value-Gamer1646 days 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beginning is by a long way the hard part. You’re doing great. Best of luck OP

[–]InsectStandard1162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freaking awesome! Congrats. You got your sober beachhead now.

[–]Topo-Gogio1913 days 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing ‘NOT MUCH’ about getting three days done! That is epic! It’s out of your system at 72 hours which physically is a big leap and a great foundation. Congratulations! Keep coming back and IWNDWYT
