| Beginning to Live again | my road for the last 40 days
41 days!! Woo Hoo!! 42 days ago I would have said I'd never make it to 4 days, much less double-digit days. I never really tried to truly quit before. I had some bad experiences so I quit for a while but it was never in my head to truly quit for good. My experience has been interesting. After about a week I haven't craved alcohol every day like I used to. I realized it had a lot to do with having a hangover every day and needing the hair of the dog to get past that. Then there was the HABIT of drinking every day. That is what I did. period. So it took me a while to change that too. Friends' reactions were interesting too. I've found that those who are social drinkers really didn't care one way or another. I think alcohol is not as significant in their lives so they don't comprehend how big it is for people like me to not drink. Those who also have a problem were a different story. Two reactions- they either avoided me like the plague or they did everything they could to get me to drink. That has been difficult to deal with. Me- my biggest problem is my head trying to tell me I could have just one drink or I could drink just tonight and I'll be OK. SR reminds me that that is absolutely not true. First drink and it's over for me. Fridays are the WORST by far. When I make it through that evening it reinforces that I am serious about this. |

cmhcali, tomorrow you'll be in the triple digits - 100 days!! You should be proud of yourself! Today I'm 71 days sober and tickled pink about it. Never did I think I'd make it this far. But I'm really keyed up about my success and don't want to spoil it with alcohol. I've been feeling rather crappy the last few days and I've noticed that when I feel so crappy I tend to want a drink just to feel "normal". But I'm not giving in to the temptation cause I know where it would take me, and I do'nt want to ever go back there.

100 days tomorrow Christin?!  Wow. That is awesome.Glad you're not giving into temptation Least. It would probably put you in the hospital anyway if you're already dehydrated. So - yek on that!

Least: I'm worried about you still being sick. This has gone on for too long IMO.

It's funny, but a really good thing, that the thought of drinking doesn't come up at all, if only to think "yuck!". I don't care how sick I am or I become, drinking is NOT an option. I'm too happy over my sobriety I won't let anything spoil it. Besides that, I want to stay sober much much more than I want to drink. And I don't want to drink at all. Today is my 76th day sober!! :ghug big hugs to my SR family - I love you guys so much!

Hmm...still looking for Saxony and can't seem to remember where she used to post. Checked here and the under 6 months thread. I visit too many threads and now feel bad about it. I know she wrote me when I was going through something weird and I know I deleted her message and Kjs accidentally when my box got too full. 50 messages max just isn't enough. Hopefully she will turn up because she's a sweetie and I enjoyed her messages. Doing great on my 69 days AF. No cravings. Nothing I can't handle. I have a chest cold again today. We're passing around something at the office and driving around in Erik's germ infested taxi Friday night didn't help much either. I do like sitting in the cab with him picking up drunks and coast guards.

Hey all! Congrats to everyone... I'm currently on day 22. Celebrated three weeks sober yesterday! I had a relaxing sober weekend. I had to fight through some cravings on Friday...but nothing that I could not handle. I've found getting on the eliptical and breaking a sweat works WONDERS for me. I've even gone off of my celexa that I'd been on for about a year and a half. I'm really not a depressed person at all. In fact, I'd never even experienced depressive thoughts/feelings until I came off of a drinking binge one time a year and a half ago... thus getting on the meds. Ridiculous how alcohol can CAUSE depression! I cut my dosage in half last week and went off completely as of Saturday. I think it may have been having reverse effects on me...because I actually feel HAPPIER off of it. I've never felt better!

Day 79 here and finally feeling better after being sick for over two weeks. But I didn't drink! That would have made me feel a lot worse, and I was feeling bad enough without adding to it.
