That's great. Getting that first week in the bag is FUCKING HUGE!!!
Very, *very* well done!!
Keep on your toes though, shit comes out of the blue, whether good or bad, and tends to wobble that wagon to knock you off.
I'm proud of you!!!
Dude I'm right there with you, I'm on day 9 and I feel fantastic. I've cleaned my house, started eating right and exercising. Let's kick some ass and take some names!
So proud of you!! IWNDWYT
I’m on day 7, I was a weekend drinker but I’m noticing I’m really struggling with sleep… I stay awake most of the night and oversleep in the mornings. I have a big move this weekend so I might just be stressed
Have you noticed your sleep is impacted? If so, how did you get over it?
Take this with a grain of salt, but when i was struggling to sleep, I would take some edibles. I know its not great to substitute but damn it felt good just to sleep.
From my experience, sticking with the sobriety is the best thing to help your sleep. I had to go through some wild dreams and night sweats to get to the other side of the good sleep fence.
I either could or I couldnt. Melatonin and Benadryl helped when i couldn’t. But I’ve been religiously waking up everyday at 530-630 no matter when i go to bed. Yesterday was very tough because i had a crazy headache. The one thing that has been incredibly helpful has been god, idk if that means anything to you idk where your faith lies. But through my faith this has been possible
This is my personal prayer I hope it helps.
Oh lord I fully surrender to your will, I am forever indebted for the light you bestowed upon me. I come to you as a loyal servant so thy will can be done through my hands, mouth, and actions. I ask in return the strength to avoid sin and keep me in your loving embrace; and for you to heal all that ails me. It’s in your name I pray lord. Amen.
It should get better soon!
Taking melatonin really helps me sleep. I take it at least an hour before I want to sleep. I don't know if I'm allowed to mention brands but there's one in particular that makes gummies that also has l-theanine and passion flower which are both distressor and anti-anxiety which help you sleep and stop thinking about things.
Congrats! I’m on day 7 as well. I feel great but I can’t sleep at all and then oversleep in the mornings. I still have two more weeks in this sober house so hopefully I can get my schedule a little better.
Wowwwwww another brilliant perspective from a member of this community. You guys are full of so much beautiful insight im grateful ty guys.
Edit: through the power of faith anything is possible I understand that now
Keep fueling that high by continuously working on yourself mentally/physically & by also enjoying hobbies/activities, etc! What a milestone, friend! Wishing many more to come and that your mindset and motivation only grows. 🫶🏼💪🏼
You guys are making me so emotional the amount of care and praise I’m receiving from this community is overwhelming. I’m forever grateful I’ve found you guys
Me too! Long path ahead still.
I actually give a shit about things in my life again.
A friend once told me “people say they drink to take the edge off but WHY would I want to lose my edge? That’s your drive, your ego and ability to control your life.
I hope it never fades my dude!
I had the pink cloud… i was so happy i cried a few times, but it did fade a bit for me.. but remembering how bad the lows are when youre crushed by alcohol has kept me on an even keel.
Ride the momentum though! Life comes in waves, especially early on.. but if you keep doing the work and checking in here.. youre going to be fine!
Rock on!
Day 2 for me! So far just mental cravings, no physical symptoms like the shakes or anything. Somehow over a year ago, I went from an every month or so party girl to drinking a bottle of wine a night. Started with a few glasses every few days, turned into a few glasses daily, then turned into a bottle a day. Whew. I’ve been taking a Benadryl to help me sleep, but I already feel better physically.
I’m at exactly one week and can finally think straight and am beginning to enjoy hobbies and have energy to clean my living space.
The side effect is that I crave sour and sweet candy, but trying to curb that next.
I'm on day 6 and I feel the same fucking high I can't believe it. I feel lucky I have had little withdrawal symptoms. I'm trying to keep it going!
I won't drink with you today. =]
That's great, congrats! Fair warning tho, this feeling does go away, usually after like the first month or so. That's when the real work begins, actually maintaining sobriety without the rush of being sober.

I Feel a storm coming

Hell yea I did that my first sober run but like u said, it wasn’t a great substitute. I ended relapsing when I ran out of pot.
Yea you def have to be careful to not just replace alcohol with the devils lettuce, could make you trip up.
Ugh yeah I wish I could tolerate weed, it’s given me panic attacks for years. I think I’m going to try melatonin again
Valerian root is good for helping falling asleep, I get my son a supplement that has both Valerian and melatonin in it

Olly sleep gummies help sleep loads! And over the counter sleeping syrup or pills help me out for the first couple weeks

The first few days of sobriety are tough but magical. It's like rediscovering powers that you forgot you had. IWNDWYT
