In the early days of joining TS I really struggled to string long periods of sobriety together and had doubts that I could ever make it so I am really proud of this and more importantly my daughter is extremely proud of me and that means more than anything. That and the fact that my granddaughter will never know me as a drinker

Checking in - day 4.
After āonlyā having consumed alcohol 3 times in the last 5 weeks, Iāve noticed a MAJOR reduction in tension in my shoulders, without any other changes to my daily routines.
I understand alcohol increases baseline anxiety and stress responses.
I had been carrying stress and tension in my shoulders and upper body for the last 15+ years, and it is melting away as time with less - and now no alcohol goes by.

Had a real hard time waking up this morning. It was one of those days when your alarm goes off and it takes a minute to remember what the day has in store. Then you remember and 
Lunch shift alone. I dragged a bit in the beginning but it was good. Got home and felt exhausted and almost took a nap but after sitting for 15 minutes I perked up. We went to my parents for dessert and game night. Itās always the same but always fun.
I completely forgot to renew my license, which expired on my birthday, which I learned when trying to buy nicotine pouches. Had to drive out to a country store that doesnāt require a scan. Damn addiction wasting my gas. Still grateful I quit cigarettes. Hopefully one day I can kick these too.
Had another mouse sightng, in my room 
It ran outside thru a crack in my window. Cats have been on high alert all over the house. I need to pick up some traps or something. This place is getting out of control. And literally as I just typed that last period my boy caught one and then let it go. WTF! Iām going to bed

End of Day 9:
Just crawled into bed after another busy day at work. Energy levels are still zapped as Iām still unable to get solid sleep, but thatās too be expected. Have to take the good with the bad, after all i was the one who poisened my body to this point, baby steps.
I have noticed my mental clarity increasing. The last six moths before i quit was foggy, all the days just seamed to melt together in a gooey mess. Also noticing that the redness in my face is fading and the white in my eyes is returning without overdosing on eyedrops. Iāll take the small victories.
Had a drinking dream last night, it was so real. Dreamed that my boss called and woke me up saying he was coming over to my house. Immediate panick because i knew i was too drunk to see him. Woke up frantic and confused, took a whike to ground myself and remind myself it was just a dream. Hated the feeling.
Drinking put me in complete isolation mode, i loathed it, i avoided everyone. I never want to be that person again.
Looking forward to day 10. One more day, i can do that!

Checking in on Day 14, will be 2 weeks by this evening. Really pleased with my progress. I have had a couple of cravings recently, but it mostly seems in control.
I am also telling people I am giving up to get healthy for my surgery. It is part of a bigger thing with the gym and losing weight so they arenāt questioning it. I am not feeling brave enough to have the big conversations yet. I will have to with the kids as they get older. There is definitely a tendency one side of my family and want them to be aware. We found out recently my Great Grandad had to give up my Grandad to a childrenās home as he was an alcoholic, suffering from shell shock from WW1. It gave a different context to the whole situation. (Edit to add, this was the medical terminology of the time).
Anyway, my cold is developing which sucks. I am trying really hard to stop the progression. My husband has been quite rough with it so really hoping I can manage it. I am going for a promotion in a couple of months so really donāt want to start taking sick days.
Have a good day everyone. Thank you all for sharing. It keeps me grounded and on track.
