The further away I move from liquor, the more visceral disgust I feel towards the substance. For years before I became an alcoholic, I had always maintained that alcohol is the absolute worst drug in every sense. Definitely the most inebriating, stupifying drug. Also the worst hangover with the exception of meth. My sleep is also starting to get a lot better now that I don't have to drink to get to sleep. There's no more shame from the immense effort that goes towards hiding an addiction. The further out I get, the more worth it it is

    Good work! Counting days or weeks sober might seem like droll or even slow, and it totally can be a drag at times, but that time builds up just like how you're building yourself up: making new habits to replace old ones and learning to discover the parts of you that's been hiding away all this time. You got this! Keep us posted!
