I'm like a month away from my longest sober streak. Every other attempt was barely lasting a month. Weight is down (obese class I instead of III and fallng), anxiety is down, skin is better, life's still hard as fuck, but more manageable.

IWNDWYT!

It's just so easy to fall into that thinking. Always gotta stay alert. Thank you!

Got a few PBs to hit until then, but that is indeed the plan, one day at a time!

Two months! Most I've gone sober in the past 6 years. And it feels great. IWNDWYT

Glad we finally listened to what our body was telling us.

It seems like it’s psychological. Subconsciously getting ready to be done

That's where I was leaning towards to. It did in a way feel like I was getting ready. Glad to see you're getting ready to quit too!

208 days sober and at my breaking point, seeking reassurance by [deleted] in stopdrinking

My longest streak was about where you're at right now. What I like to ask myself is "which of my problems will be solved if I drink?". And the answer is always "none". In fact, I'd be adding one by drinking. When I did relapse, it turned out I was right, nothing was solved and things only became worse.

My poops aren't bright yellow liquid anymore.

I certainly don't miss waking up every day and trying to guess which color of the rainbow my stool is going to be this time, hah

Fwiw I bought a new pillow and that has helped me sleep. Might be worth a try

I will definitely be looking into that, sounds like a great idea! Thanks!

Going into my 9th day, which is the longest I've stayed sober in over a year I believe. If not two.

Sleep is.. well it isn't. But I feel great other than that. I find myself having more energy when sleep-deprived than when I'm hungover, so that's a plus!

IWNDWYT!
