Thankful that today, after a little over 3 months Alcohol free, I probably only thought about drinking a hanfull of times after 30 plus years drunk nightly. Huge improvement. I did however think multiple times today about the a more comfortable waistband. 25 lbs down in 96 days without really working on it. Not drinking cut 600 to 800 calories a day out of my diet. Blood preassure down without meds, sleeping much better, better relations and communication with my wife and at work, etc..... I dont write this to gloat but rather to inspire those in the early days. KEEP GOING!!! For all this I am thankful. I still worry about the pink cloud I have learned about reading posts from good supportive folks on this site, but I am hopeful. I was posting almost every day in the beginning because it was top of mind all the time. I looked an it's been 2 weeks since last post. That a good sign.
Thank you all for listening to my venting, rants, and pleas for help over the last few months, and all the support and kind words you have given. Have a good and sober weekend. And for those really struggling, (its Friday which doesn't help)Stay the course! If you are still reading this I bet you are strong enough and you know in your soul that for so many reasons it's worth it. Get through Friday.
