So tomorrow will be day 60 of not drinking, and I'm feeling pretty good. Had myself a great breakfast this morning and cooked my ass off today at work. I got prescribed arthritis medicine in rehab and the task I was dreading the most since returning to work was no problem today! Today my entire view on work changed, I was a far better cook than normal, I wasn't half assing recipes like I did when I was always hungover/withdrawaling. I even had time to do a bunch of cleaning around the kitchen. I even have energy leftover to cook when I get home. Probably due to drinking 8 red bulls today, but hey whatever makes me feel good and doesn't ruin my life, plus I get them for free at work. Gonna go to a meeting tonight and make some dinner

How are y'all today?

Congrats on the sobriety. I quit vaping myself today and so far so good. It's not until like day 3-4 when things get really bad.

Thanks! You quit smoking too right?

I'm on pouches now, so no cigs for me but I haven't fully quit nicotine. Just getting it in a less harmful way now

Gotcha. I just decided to finally quit myself, so I'm using the gum.

Love that so much for you, having that kinda energy (even if its energy drink induced) sounds amazing, glad you're doing well Care-Comrade
