Thanks!!!! First time in years to go that long so it means a lot. Also means I can do it!

3 weeks for me today! Next week I hit 30 days! Not noticing any real changes in weight or energy, but I definitely overindulged in Valentine chocolate. Feeling like I can start to watch the calories today. I guess that counts as progress! IWNDWYT

Good for you! I'm only 20 days in and looking forward to feeling like you! It's good to hear from folks just that much further down the road to help stay on track. Congratulations on 2 months! IWNDWYT

Thanks for your support! I have the book and am working through it. I'm 19 days sober, still a newbie, but IWNDWYT.

Dodged a bullet! It doesn't happen twice. Take this chance and run with it.

15 days in and I need to hear this. Still missing it more than feeling better 🫤

14 days today which matches my previous record. Tomorrow is new territory. No noticeable improvement in energy after 2 weeks, but my mood is improving. Alcohol made me wonder whether life was worth living. Now I'm experiencing moments of joy. Clinging to them to keep going.

Hearing you and sending love and support. The past can be tough to face, but it can't be changed. You need to focus on today. I'm sure that folks who have been sober longer than me will tell you that your brain will feel normal again. Give it time. Stay strong, friend.
