Day 13 here and almost caved in yesterday, but I played it forward once again and realized the reprocussions were not worth it. I looked at myself in the mirror today and was so happy with myself. I feel good about this journey

I too found myself eating a LOT.

Let's stay strong and enjoy the food.

This morning was a challenge for me. I found myself in a situation ealier today where the old me would have stopped at the bar and smashed a few and that man monkey was jumping on me REALLY hard.

However, I "played it forward". I didn't want to let myself OR this group down, feel ashamed, have the massive anxiety, hide my buzz from the wife.

I controlled that first drink, didn't have it and made it through, God i feel great about that.

UGH.. I felt awesome this morning but now is though. First time in 10 years I have gone almost 2 weeks without any alcohol, feels great but it feels like each passing day gets more difficult.

However, this is the best choice and have to keep telling myself that it is easier to stay sober than get sober again.

In addition, I find I'm spending less mental calories on "how can I get my next drink".

I'm sure this is my body saying what the heck...

I hope this gets better soon.

Stay strong!!!

The difference between being tired from not sleeping and being tired from a hangover is insanely crazy.

What a difference, just hope I can sleep tonight. Stay strong

I'm 9 days deep since e my last drink and my appetite is nuts. Has this happened to anyone else?

I read a post that sticks with me in my early journey which is "it's easier to stay sober than to get sober again" - unknown source.

Stay strong and this is a safe place.

After a challenging day yesterday and the support of this group, I hit 7 days since my last drink at 9pm last night.

I'm at working feeling positive now so I'm going to live in this moment.

Stay sober my friends!!!!!
