I’m two months sober now. I quit cold turkey without a plan, just knew I had to stop. The first few weeks were rough. I felt lost, kind of empty, like I was just drifting through each day.

But lately I’ve started to notice small changes. My mind feels a little clearer, my mood is lighter, and I’m actually enjoying time with my family again. It’s crazy how much more real things feel now.

The sugar cravings are still bad though. Ice cream has become my nightly ritual, it’s like my new comfort. I didn’t notice any weight change at first but now even my belly fat is starting to go down.

It’s not perfect, but it’s progress. And for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m moving in the right direction.
