I love how I feel in the mornings! I’m up early, my house is cleaner than it’s ever been, my yard is tended to, I’m cooking nice meals for myself and my son instead of wasting money on Door Dash, my daughter is proud of me and has been so much nicer and supportive, I could go on. Life is good sober!

Congratulations with 14 days sober, i smiled when reading your post, because i feel the same.
It took me a long time to get sober, it was a work in progress for 2 years, but along the way with more and more sober days collected i was estatic…now im over 4 years sober and i feel that same happiness every day.
Keep going!

One day at a time, but each day seems to get easier. Am I in a honeymoon stage? Will it get hard again? I am not going to slack on using the daily tools even though I’m feeling so much better, but I wonder if most people go through this utopia phase.

Those first 7 were the hardest for me. One day at a time and keep reading, meeting, and meditating!

Great work on you! As for the honeymoon period… maybe, but doesn’t have to feel like that as some have described the pink cloud and then the blah.
I think looking at recovery as a new daily challenge by doing things differently and helping others makes it new & fun. I look at today as a chance to do & be happy, not a grind or anything humdrum as that view can make a person into the dry drunk.
You’re doing wonderful things, mom, for you and yours!

Awesome work! Definitely has its ups and downs, but the ups last longer and the downs become more temporary the longer you are sober for 
I think I used to feel really good after a couple weeks sober and fall into a false sense of security and believe I could have just one, only for it to turn into another year or 2 of binge drinking. Continuing to check in daily, especially during those days and weeks when I felt really good, has been the most crucial thing for me getting to over 100 days AF.
Congrats on your 2 weeks!

I need aome of your motivation! I last a week and then old habits creep on back in. It makes me feel defeated.

@Mariposa426 I think it does continue to get easier in terms of that intense effort that early sobriety requires. But then there is the lower level effort to keep complacency at bay. And sometimes life throws us a challenge so we need to double down for a while.
@Sachat68 Welcome! If you know when the addict voice starts to get loud again you can take some precautions. Double down on your tools, go to extra meetings, listen to more podcasts, journal more, etc.
