3 weeks +

And I'm still feeling good - strong in my resolve. Some things I've noticed: When upsetting things happen, which of course, they ALWAYS do, for one reason or another, I notice that my go to used to be, "Well, I need a drink," or "I deserve a drink," and now, I notice that I'm thinking, "I like that I don't need to have a drink; that I can manage my feelings on my own terms, without relying on altering my mood with alcohol."

I notice that my sleep is SO much better. I used to wake up at 1 or 2 am, and be wide awake, with a feeling of dread, until 4 or 5. Now I sleep like a baby.

I notice that I'm better at crosswords than I used to be. :)

Also, and this may seem stupid, but I notice that my balance isn't what it used to be. I used to attribute that to being semi-drunk, but I notice that I still have trouble sometimes, even completely sober. So that's interesting. All part of getting old I guess.

So, all in all, very positive outcomes and feelings. I'm glad to have this space to journal and comment.
