| welcome aboard honu. god bless you. though my drinking level was not similar to yours.
for the past four years i have drank 16-20 ounces of 90 proof vodka EVERY single day. today will mark 25 days for me.
the change has been unreal physically and mentally. i am getting so much done but part of that may be me compensating staying busy so i'm not just vegging on the sofa wishing for some vodka.
i've honestly only had bad urges 3 times in the 25 days and made it through them. i have a few people at work that i have shared with and they'll ask me, how many days now? when i tell them they say "great".
but it was this board that gave me the strength to stop. every time i read about someone that had been able to even make it one day i was envious and jealous and wondered why i couldn't.
for the ones that relapse and beat themselves up there is always one of the regulars here to immediately lift them up.
i read this place 3 months before i quit and stayed quit 15 days before i made my first post. i'm a sports message board fanatic but this is definitely in my favorite places list.
good luck to you in your endeavour darlin'.
