Just a quick check-in. Tomorrow will be my 40th day AF. :thanks:
The last 5-6 weeks have been an interesting journey for me. I've gone from drinking 2+ bottles of wine each and every day, to quitting cold turkey on May 16. At first, taking it one day at a time, thinking about drinking most days, and having to restrain from buying alcohol. Now, 40 days later, I barely think about alcohol, and I honestly don't feel tempted to have a drink.
I know that alcohol is something that will never be in my life again, and I'm ok with that - in fact - I'm happy about it. Very happy. Happy to be enjoying life again, going to bed with a clear head, waking up every morning feeling refreshed, looking and feeling human again. No more hangovers (I'm aching just thinking about them!), no more excuses, no more hiding empties, no more lying, no more wasting my life away.
Life is truly too short and too precious to spend another moment drunk.
Thank you all for your support,

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
