I have submitted many drunken posts to this website. My previous post was one of them (I was crying over my ex if you are curious). The morning after posting it, I felt so embarrassed that I was scared to log back into the website. I didn't want to see what I had written, but eventually I did, and it was as bad as I thought it would be. The replies were so kind, as always. One of the main reasons I find myself coming back to SS is because I know that no matter how pathetic I feel the post is, I will always be met with empathy and kindness. You can rarely be so open and vulnerable in real life.

I haven't had a drop of alcohol since that morning. Granted it's not even been three weeks but I honestly didn't think I would/could stop. I can't say all of my problems are solved, or that I'm happy, but here are some of the nice things I've noticed since stopping: 1. Not stinking of beer all the time. 2. Not waking up trying to remember what dumb shit I said the night before. 3. Having a bit of extra cash to spend. 4. Faster progress at the gym.

Don't know how long this will last. I'm still wondering if this sudden lifestyle change is the result of a manic episode lol. If it is I'll enjoy it while I can. Hope you're all having a good day.

Three weeks is nothing to scoff at. It's hard and something to be proud of.

Congrats on your sobriety! Just try not to beat yourself up too hard if you relapse, alright?

It's like falling off a bike, right? The goal isn't to avoid crashing the bike, its to spend longer and longer on the bike every time you try, and just getting back on immediately every time you crash.

Best of luck to you.
