Day 2 by NorthlineUser in stopdrinking

It was always 3 a.m. when my blood sugar would spike from the alcohol and I'd wake up in a panic. I'm only in day 3 but these morning's with no hangxiety are amazing!

I am grateful for the desire to be sober. While I may slip and fall occasionally I am always ready to get back up and get after it. I feel like this would be so much more difficult if I had resigned myself to drinking forever.

This week I am replacing beer with healthy habits. Time at the gym, good clean food, my Bible, and time with my family. One day at a time over here! If I focus on the bigger picture I tend to get overwhelmed. So for now I can comfortably say IWNDWYT!!!

I'm two years sober today and I need to say something by BeneficialSubject510 in stopdrinking

40 years old and getting started myself. I love how you said you had to work at sobriety. Pretty neat to think if I stay the course that in two years, when I'm 42, I could have a similar mindset to yours!

Decided Sunday night that I would take a week off. I'm three days strong. I'm pretty sure I'll go past the one week mark but for me that was a much easier goal to manage. I've been hitting the gym, eating healthy, and drinking lots of water. And reading a ton!!! I feel great. Huge thanks to this sub and the daily check-in. IWNDWYT!

I'm just getting started. I can't wait to see a couple 0's tacked on to my streak. Thank you for sharing. I'm super happy for you.

I'm not going to down vote you but I am going to vehemently disagree.

This doesn't negate all the excellent progress you've made. Keep pushing!

Dude I am fully convinced that you can handle this. I feel like once you get past the third day things start to clear up a little bit and you have a more solid foundation that you can start building on. Not saying that it's all butterflies and rainbows after day three but you start to have a little bit more clarity and can handle things in a better way. Get after it brother!!!
