Re: One Week Sober
I was very hesitant towards drinking at first, and didn't start with some massive saturday drinking before I was well over 20. Then for a few years I drank every weekend in honor of a shitty job and being dumped by a girlfriend in a harsh way. Then I got bored with it. Now I drink maybe once a month or once every two months. I'm too old for that stuff...raving around in town not remembering shit afterwords. Once I drank too much and fell asleep in a park...not bad in itself..but it bad because people were looking for me for hours, thinking something had happened to me. So, after that accident I pulled back and now I don't really give a shit thinking the hangover next day isn't worth it. I'd rather write on my book projects or bike or just watch a movie with my wife. Yep, I can sense 30 coming now..this year.
Good luck to you man!
Re: One Week Sober
Heres some inspiration fr you. I been listening t it non stop all week and haven't touched a bottle.
It's about alcoholism and giving up. The lyrics paint quite the accurate picture

Re: One Week Sober
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks... so far, so good. Also, my first physical in at LEAST a decade....
Should be interesting.... How goes the battle, Gong?
I'm still sober ... going to see the Sox play on Saturday.
That should be interesting.
Fenway Park and alcohol abuse / binge drinking go hand-in-hand to me.
It will be nice to do the 90 minute drive home sober for once.
Re: One Week Sober
Oh! I'm a month sober today ... yay
Still no urge to booze, but my enthusiasm for this whole thing has definitely waned.
:shrugs:
Sounds like the reality of not getting high has set in, and that reality is harsh.
Now's the time to be extra careful about a relapse.
Re: One Week Sober
Definitely. The mind set works everytime for just about everything. From indulgence to addiction to dieting.
This is when you almost always start saying "why am I doing this?" "What's it for?" "Who cares"
Those are just doubts. Now is when you prove to yourself you have the strength to carry on. Think of how you felt at 'one week sober'. Think of how you felt at 'one month sober'. Think of how you'll feel at 'two months sober' and the fantastic progress you're making. It might sound simple, but it's good advice.
Don't convince yourself you need to cope with being sober. It's a trigger. Just remember you're kicking ass right now, and to continue to do so.
