This is the second time in my life I’ve actually taken my sobriety seriously. Most other times I’d say, well we r gonna stop for a week so we can regroup and then go back at it. Everytime I took a break/tried to get sober I knew I was going to drink in a week and I was okay with that. For the most part. This time is so different. I can’t really explain why on here bc it’s pretty personal but this time is different. And I’m so glad it is. Of course I’ve been having some detox symptoms, like depression and anxiety but nothing compared to the depression and anxiety I would get the next day after drinking. But honestly for the most part, I feel good. I know it’s early. I know I have a lot of work to do but Ive honestly felt pretty hopeful and excited since the first day. There will be times I have cravings, there will be times I have depression or a “reason” to want to drink. I will deal with that then, but tonight I just want to celebrate the fact I made it another day alcohol free and had an amazing night with my man, and really connected with him. We r so much happier when I’m sober.
Congrats on day four, Renae!

Good for you Ren! That’s wonderful to hear. You’re making progress one day at a time. It feels nice doesn’t it? 
Sassy has a great list of her reasons she stays sober. She keeps it on her phone for those times when she wants to refresh her memory of why sobriety is her choice. I think we all need that from time to time
