Day 12

Hi everyone

I wanted to post this earlier but our internet was down most of the day.

Tomorrow is day 12 for me. As you may recall my longest stretch of not drinking was 11 days and part of day 12 but I blew it the last day 12.

I'm feeling really good about tomorrow and beyond though - I've been sleeping well, very productive at work, the warmer weather has gotten me excited for summer and also allowed me to start on yard projects on the weekends so I'm keeping my mind and body busy.

On a side note, the Mets have not lost since I stopped drinking!

So let's go Mets and lets go ME!

awesome Rich :) congratulations
im on day 18 and feel great! Its a different feel than any other time that I tried to stay sober. I feel strong. Whenever I start to feel any anxiety or stress, i make myself hop on my elliptical for 30 mins, it always helps.

Congratulation on your winning streak. And the Mets winning streak is without David Wright. Hope springs eternal on all fronts...

I'm on day 16. Like ra1nb0w, I find exercising has helped a lot. I try to get outside and walk at least 3x/week if not more. It clears my head and I feel good when I'm done.

Congrats on your new longest stretch.
