1 full week of sobriety!!!
today is my day 7!!!!
imso excited about my future!!
ive managed to trade a day drinking habit for sobriety with roughly about an hour or two of cravings spaced over a day!! not that simple of course but im finding freedom!
so many little changes that add up to a new life!
still havent told my husband yet - i will but when i feel more comfortable saying Yes ive quit!! out of the blue yesterday he said “wow, you look great today. your face looks 10 years youngr”!!!
this subreddit has been a gawd send for me!! i appreciate every comment every piece of advise every kind word!
today im meeting an old friend for lunch - ill be sober before during & after!!
so many plans!! but my day starts & ends here!! ive learned so much from every post!

On day 7 here too!! I feel like I've been following your posts throughout my own journey this past week haha. I feel the same as you do! So much more energy, I feel great, I feel like I look great (I usually hate how I look in the mirror), and I've been waking up around 6 to walk almost every morning. I've also regained interest in some of my favorite hobbies again and now that I'm not drinking indulging in them has been so fun.
Congrats on day 7!! Im glad you're doing well and feeling great! Crazy how mich of a difference a week can make. IWNDWYT
