Dee, you have a point. Milestones suck, has been my experience. It's good to get past one, but I'm more glad when they're over than happy to have made one.
So Napster, do the same thing on day 188 as on every other sober day. Don't drink. On Feb 26 we'll give you a pat on the back and cheer you on to the next day!
I'm happy I didn't drink today. As a former daily drinker, emphasis on the "day", mornings are the times I get the strongest urges. Not strong like the old cravings, but strong enough to remind me. There are still pretty many mornings when I wish I had a shot or two in me, but I've never yet gone to bed not happy that I stayed sober.
