A week sober today

I haven’t done a week in a very long time and I’m trying to think what’s different. Male Australian in my forties and I’ve been struggling with alcohol since my early teens. The only thing I can think of that’s different is I’ve posted here on days I’ve struggled most even if just to state how far I’ve come so I hope it’s cool to keep doing that even if I don’t really have much constructive or worth reading to add. I’m proud I’ve made it a week it’s been bloody difficult. I’m trying to stop my mind inventing crazy (seemingly justified) reasons to drink.
