It's been a while since I've posted, like several months. I remain sober........as of May of this year. Thus far, I'm off my BP meds and have lost right at 60 pounds. I like the new me so much better. I've never had to endure something so difficult as stopping drinking. This was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. I experienced such anxiety the first few weeks. But I want to offer hope to others. You can do this. I used to drink so so much. It would have killed me, no doubt. Just know each day is a new day, and can be the first day of the rest of your life. I still catch myself thinking about a drink. When this happens, I work through the moment and urge. I'm so blessed to get this chance to turn it around. Further blessed to have this group. Dave848, I'll always be thankful to you and your words of wisdom. I hope you are well. God bless each of you.
