a little over five months
Hi, i have been reading posts for a few weeks but this is my first post. I celebrated five months a little over two weeks ago. I quit drinking because my liver was inflammed and causing me to throw up multiple times a day, and i developed nerve damage from drinking too. But now my liver is doing much better, and with physical therapy and abstinence the nerve damage is also much better. Initially when i got sober i thought if i was abstinent for long enough then i could be a normal drinker, but more recently i have started going to aa and read the big book and i know that that is not possible. I feel good most days, and very fortunate, i haven't had a craving in probably two months and i hope to stay this way
