12 weeks sober

[Touty]

I am 12 weeks sober.

Feeling much better in myself. Anxiety improved. I find it easier to keep the weight off. I’ve also spent less money. It’s not been easy but definitely worth it.

Well done 😊💖

Well done! 😊

I'm just starting (day 6). What has helped?

Great stuff! 👍

@sunshineandshowers40 thank you.

Fear I suppose was the main driver, it got to the point that I put myself in dangerous situations. I had a rock bottom moment in new year when i drank too much had an argument with OH, tried to walk home legless only to fall and pass out at the side of a road. OH found me thankfulky but he was so shocked and afraid when he found me lying there.

So I had no choice really. I’ve tried to moderate before and in the beginning it works ok but I soon fall back into the habit of binge drinking.

what has worked for me is staying away from Bars. As the weeks have gone by I realized that instead of drinking because of boredom or low mood I just had to let the cravings pass.

i also came to realize that I would never be free from anxiety or low mood whilst continuing to drink.

Amazing work @Touty ! And I promise it just keeps getting better.

Well done, you’re starting to see the rewards and benefits of a sober life. It doesn’t have to be a boring life! You have so much more time now to do exciting things.

Best thing you’ll ever do. I’m 4 years sober now and I never miss it. Life is so much better.

Huge congratulations on 12 weeks! 90 days is a big turning point for a lot of people. You’ve made the commitment. Amazing!

12 weeks for me also. Congratulations!

Well done! Not easy but absolutely worth it! Be very proud of yourself!

Congratulations @Touty that is a fabulous achievement. Keep on going!

Well done! Around 12 weeks was a real turning point for me.

Hope I can follow your lead 🙌🙌🙌

Thanks , I’m starting to feel the same, I hope it lasts 🤞
