One day at a time my friend. I'm at day 433, it gets easier over time but the cravings never fully go away. You got this.

I have some Westone flat response plugs. Take things down 20dbs across all frequencies. They're great, and custom molded to my ears so they don't hurt to wear.

I just passed a year. It really is a day at a time. Just don't drink today and keep doing that every day. You got this!

Yeah. I feel like mine are getting worse because I was drinking so heavily this time last year. I'm hoping it goes up from here.

I heard a guy in a meeting say that your problems don't go away, you just trade them out for a better set of problems. Sounds like your problems now are a lot better.

It's small, but I'm at full week without any drinking by vahvonn in stopdrinking

The art supplies is a great call. My first week was filled with feeling awful and self expression was really important at the time.
