Well, as most of you have probably read from my previous thread "5th day sober", I am now heading into my second sober weekend and 12 days sober.

I can honestly say that I did not experience a single physical withdrawal. In fact, I started feeling physically better within 2 days. You see, I think my body was rejecting the amount of alcohol I was drinking. My body really didn't want it anymore. But I really thought I would go through some form of physical withdrawal.

My head still entertains the thought of drinking. I still think about it but not as bad as the first few days. I honestly think I am very very lucky indeed as I have seen so many suffer through this. Particularly my Mom who almost died from a bleeding ulcer but still refuses to acknowledge that alcohol was the cause.

I've been drinking for about 15 years. It wasn't a slave to me in the first few years but progressively got worse. These last two years were by far quite serious in terms of my drinking. I thought I would never be able to give up. Yet I am finding it relatively easy.

Thoughts?
