I'm amazed how great I feel. Up at 5:17 AM and already working. I really like my life with out alcohol. I'm very low key about quitting and nobody has noticed or said a word about it. I have been concentrating on my music and my business. I wish I had continued from my last quit instead of drinking for two years, I'd have four years in now. Oh well what's past is past. Eating a really healthy diet and drinking lot's of juice and water. My wife is so happy she glows. I forgot how much you can get done when you aren't drinking. Good luck to everyone. I have found this forum very helpful on my trip to an AF life. Thanks.

This is a happy thread! So glad to hear. I suppose you know that you'll still be hit up with cravings along the way. Just don't forget this good feeling. It's only possible without the booze. -

Wow what a great story thanks for sharing!If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic.Comment

Flyaway, The doc said I might not ever have cravings but if I do distract myself and they will subside shortly. I hope I don't but if i do it's something I will have to deal with. I can't believe how good my skin looks. I lost some weight in my face and my skin is smother and younger looking. Have much more energy. Lifted weights last night and slept great. Now I just have to get a haircut. Pretty much stayed in the past two weeks to deal with quitting and my hair is a little shaggy. Everybody thanks for your support.Comment

So pleased for you CanDo.
Nice to hear your wife is glowing too. Every wife should glow.

You won't have any more physical cravings or symptoms, but the psychological repair takes time. I'd be surprised if you weren't hit by cravings at some point. But hopefully you'll be a lucky one with that.

Hi 199, you beat me by two days. Congratulations and good luck. I love early morning and missed a lot of them in the past two years. Like to have my coffee and a smoke to start my day on the patio in good or bad weather. My dad was a navigator in WW2 and the Korean conflict and taught me a lot about stars. I have been getting up and watching the winter sky. I saw Jupiter and Mars before I quit and got his old navigation book out and started trying to find the constellations by matching the pictures of the winter sky in Northern latitudes to what I was looking at. Lots of fun. Maybe I'll take up astronomy as a hobby. Who knows. I have time now because I'm not wasting it doing you know what.Comment
