Day 8 today

[Shiner]

Hi all. Well... I am feeling a little better today. Went to bed at 7:30 last night. Was just tired. Had a good workout this morning. I am so looking forward to seeing some physical appearance improvements. But I am proud of the healing going on inside. I calculated I was drinking about 3000 calories when drinking wine. One average bottle of my wine had about 1800 calories and I could easily drink 2 or more. Sad sad sad..... My heart does not pound like it used to. Thats great. I will close for now. Thank you all for your help. I need it and I appreciate it so much.

You are doing great! I think back to the first weeks when i went AL free and i remember it was day by day and some times minute by minute. Each success is a building block and believe me before you know it you will have built a fortress in your defenses against the AL beast.

Stay strong and keep up the great work!

You go Shiner! Excellent! I say go to bed whenever you feel like it. You are doing great with no alcohol. And yeah those calories do add up! But in my case I made up for it with SUGAR!

Stay strong and take care

Way to go Shiner!

Just waking up in the morning without my heart pounding is such a good feeling. I'm only a day ahead of you - what say we just keep rolling along?

Way to go Shiner! You are through the toughest part. Now you just have to keep at it, then sit back and enjoy all the benefits of being AF.

Jolie - You are doing awesome too! Stay strong and keep posting, I love to hear how everyone is succeeding!

I think one of the hardest parts of getting sober is learning to listen to our bodies. If you're tired at 7:30...go to bed! I don't know how many times I forced AL down my throat and forced my body to stay up when all it wanted was rest. Thankfully those days can be over for us now. And it's amazing waking up in the morning with no headache, no mysterious bruises, no anxiety, guilt or shame...isn't it?

Keep up the great work everyone...we're really kicking the crap out of this beast!
