If i ruled the world i ' d have you all hung . Agreed . <| sep |> Science , just write it down <| sep |> As someone who is dealing with a low grade MCL tear and about to start physical therapy for it . That guys a fuckin ' gangster . <| sep |> That Jeff Beck album is excellent . <| sep |> As someone who ' s just made it to a month , I will say it is finally starting to get better and sobriety is starting to feel somewhat more attainable . Nothing in this world worth having comes easy . Remind yourself of this . Sobriety is hard but so so worth it . You ' ve got this . The first several days and random occasional days now were really hard for me . I probably read every single post on here nightly until I was able to fall asleep . Anything to keep from running out the door for just one bottle . I had a lot of anxiety as well , which I normally would have turned to alcohol to soothe . I spent a lot of time arguing with myself , basically doing whatever I could to convince myself that I had have a problem and that if I let it continue I would probably die from alcohol abuse like some of my extended family members . I tried to do whatever it took to pass the time and still avoid social situations that might put my sobriety at risk . But as for the positives I ' ve experienced these last 4 weeks gradually starting to feel better emotionally less saddepressed , more content and happy , etc and physically no stomach or kidney pain , better BM ' s , amazing sleep , etc . I ' ve noticed I ' m becoming more selfconfident , which I attribute to both not having alcohol depress my nervous system as well as feeling a sense of accomplishment . I feel like people are interacting with me in more positive ways , or maybe I ' m interacting with them more and they ' re feeding off of that new energy . I ' m not taking things to heart and am not as sensitiveemotionally reactive as I used to be . My skin is getting clearer and less red . I ' m not as puffy and my face is already starting to look a lot better . Best of all I ' m starting to feel CAPABLE of doing anything . If I could quit alcohol something I ' ve tried to do several times over the last couple of years what else can I accomplish ? Sorry for the long post . This milestone is something I ' ve been reflecting on a lot as well , especially since I thought when I first quit that I could maybe have one drink after I hit a month Spoiler alert I won ' t since it ' s never just one drink . Hope to hear an update from you in a month about your 4 weeks !
