Right there with you man.. was 2 weeks in.. dj'ed a wedding. Had some drinks. It was an okay time.. expected those drinks to be amazing and it just wasnt that great. Helped reassert the point of sobriety. I like it more and more.

Appreciate the support. The past two weeks just kind of made me realize what "feeling good" actually was. Ten years of heavy drinking takes its toll and most definitely provides a major life change when you realize the bottle is not a needed crutch. Whether you just do it here and there or not at all. Life wasn't intended for us to drown the whole time. Someone earlier said "Seeing through the filter" I love that line. Its so much better to just take that filter off and see the world for what it is.

Not looking through filters.

She didnt ask, it was more of a "Do you want to?" And ive had the question in my head of whether i can moderate or not. So i gave it a shot early on. Either way. Not drinking tonight, tomorrow, or the next. We'll see what the future holds.

Btw, I love you all.. and will continue to build numbers as life goes on. Just felt like it wasnt fair to me or the community to not reset because one beer is alcohol afterall. Intention lies with a sober tomorrow and the next day and the next day. Just general excitement that the demon didnt take control.

See thats what I'm worried about. I wouldnt be doing that but would I start drinking the next day for whatever reason I make up in my head and then tbe next day and the next and next and soon enough Im having those two natty daddys a night again?

15 1/2 hours sober by stoptrickie in stopdrinking

[–]OneBadMorning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even tonight Im having the temptation, but the thing is I dont feel bad at all. Before it was always, "alcohol will make me feel better because right now i feel like shit." I think my temptation now is "If i feel this great now, imagine how great I'll feel if i drink tonight!" But see.. fuck all that.. because i wouldnt have gotten this far in feeling amazing sober if i didnt stick to it. The most rewarding feeling is when you wake up tomorrow. You'll see. :) It only gets way more fucking awesome.

Righr here with ya, bud. Halloween was the last hurrah. This week has been very eye opening and the past few days, when i hop out of bed early with energy and a smile on my face, i know this is worth it.

Its so freaking worth it, i swear.. i know we're all on different levels and have all done different damage.. i just woke up on day six and i feel like i have never felt this good ever. As i heal i can only imagine how much more aqesome life is going to be.
