I too just joined the site and cannot remember for the last three years having more than a day sober, except for the past two-three weeks where I would have 1-2 days sober, until finally deciding to kick it in gear and now I am finishing my 6th day straight sober. Its the longest stretch in my adult life that I can remember prior to beginning to drink to start with. I am fortunate to not have had too many withdrawal symptoms...Ive ad the night sweats and insomnia, but I decided to stop drinking (if not entirely just yet, but for a significant amount of time and focusing on not drinking now, one day at a time), because I felt like my health was in danger. I am too young to die from something like alcohol complications. Heck I'm too young to die from alot of the crap I have put my body through, even though I probably should have by now. I digress. In any event, congrats on finishing the registration for the site and I hope we can both find valuable information and support!
