I've been sober for 5 1/2 months and it's been a roller coaster ride of feelings! The 1st month was easy for me. The 2nd snd 3rd were very difficult! I lost my father and my sister in law and all i thought about was drinking!! Also I thought i would loose weight but i actually gained 8 lbs!!!! All i wanted to do was eat sweets, and thats something I never really needed.The 4th month was full of urges and then not ever wanting ti drink. Today i woke up and realized i haven't even thought about drinking and certainly not wanting to!!! Today I'm back to my normal weight, It takes time for our bodies to regulate and settle down from the years of abuse I put it through. Anyways I hope this helps someone out there.! Don't drink today.

That’s incredible growth, Sher! You’ve been through so much, but you’re still standing strong. It’s wild how our bodies and minds adjust over time. Hope today feels lighter for you, a step at a time.
