Congratulations! Eventually being sober just becomes something you are, not something you have to think about. How long that takes is different for everyone, but finding new things to do with your time really helps, especially fitness activities. In the meantime, you don't have to worry about staying sober until that happens, you just have to focus on staying sober today. Every day just focus on today. You got this!

I've got 24h wish me luck!

Congrats! Coming up on a year here. Near beer socially and meditation alone have been pretty helpful.

Hell yeah comrade. I just posted up a year since I quit smoking. It's hard. It's still hard. But it does get easier.

remember that if/when you relapse, it's not about streaks, but about minimizing damage

Congrats – you're sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn't sugar from alcohol, so you're going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing. And it’ll be boring. Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.
