Thanks Dee. I sort of lost the road for a short while, but then on Sunday decided I simply have to give it another go before things get completely out of hand again. Tapered on Monday and Tuesday and then stopped. Day two for me and I am reading more on the importance of a plan, other than just focusing on not to drink.

Hi Cap'n. I just reached my 9 month milestone on Monday. The more days I add up, the more worried I become about complacency. I occasionally get the thought that I've done so well I could handle a drink or two. I really don't want to go there...

Hi Dragon, congratulations- before you know it you would have made a year! I saw that you and a few others (beelover etc) were doing real well. I am picking up again on sobriety and have just made 2 weeks.

I'm still here. Almost 10 months. I wouldn't say I'm complacent, just busy with life. Drinking really doesn't come to mind much. When it does, I just focus on something else and let it pass. Sometimes is easier than others. It is much easier than it was in the beginning.

Still around. Hitting 10 months tomorrow. Had a business trip last week and was worried about the drinking that would go on around me. AV was whispering in my ear before we even got there (who's gonna know?). Stuck to my guns and learned from the experience. Wasn't so bad, most of it was made up exaggerated stories all in my head. They had their drinks, I had my ice tea or soda, nobody cared or asked. I didn't stand out in the crowd like a sore thumb. We had fun swapping stories and I was good with it all.

Hey all- my sober date is October 10, 2016. My June class which I had stuck with after I relapsed in august is all but gone.
Anyways, just wanted to pop in and say hi!
Stdragon, the AV still pops up for me situationally as well. My parents served wine with dinner this past weekend and the thoughts of just one glass come and go. The daily obsession of drinking is gone though, so is worrying about how much i can drink and whether I can maintain safe limits. I was sick the other weekend, and I it reminded me how awful and debilitating my hangovers were.
Life is so much more productive and enjoyable now, I don't dare let the av seduce me.
