I'm Three Weeks Sober Today!

I'm listening to "We Used to Vacation" by Cold War Kids.

I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
As long as I live but even then
It sounds so soothing to mix a gin
And sink into oblivion

I relate to this song so much (minus the wife and children part - but it's the sentiment of promising your loved ones/family/friends, etc).

The whole album is really good, and it's in heavy rotation for me right now.

I'm three whole weeks sober today and I feel great. Every day it gets easier. My desire to drink is mostly gone, though it pops up from time to time. I find myself looking forward to doing other things now - things like grocery shopping on Saturday night, taking care of my plants, reading, and playing video games with Ted. (We're busting out the SNES today!)

Anyway, just a little update from me. I'm doing well. I'm happy and secure. I feel better than I have in a long time.

Love you guys! 🖤

I'm a weekend drinker and just passed my 2nd weekend with no alcohol. For some reason it's easier during the week cause it "feels wrong" but weekends are hard because I am able to be hungover and feel like shit cause it's the weekend! The fun of alcohol is so short and if I go overboard the hanxiety can last for over a week! That's what I have to think about when I want to drink- the feel good to-not feel good ratio is not worth it. Great job Cindy! I'm sure you are feeling a lot more productive these days

You're so right about that! It just isn't worth it - at all. I'm feeling so much better without it, and actually have time for my hobbies again. Congrats to you on two weekends! That's awesome! 🖤

Thank you! I just got Chrono Trigger, which is one of my favorite games of all time! I'm so excited! We also have Mortal Combat II, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Country. I want to work on building my collection of games because it's my favorite console too!

Good for you, alcohol is nothing but poison that harms your physical and mental health. Respecting your body and brain by avoiding it completely is a great way to love yourself. Loving yourself and taking good care of yourself is the only way to experience true happiness/contentment! Today I am 105 days completely sober from both weed and alcohol, probably for the first time in over 15 years! I feel great, my brain is healing :)
