So far 92 days. 1daat. God help me. I am fiercely protective, committed, and steadfast in my resolve to never ever drink another drop of booze for as long as I live.
Strong words.
Hope, try, wish are not terms I use when addressing my sobriety intentions.
Keep reading and googling. That is my experience.
Stay sober, your life depends on it.
D122y - thanks for sharing some of your story. I have been tapering, too. Well except for a few occasions where I totally screwed up. My plan is to continue to post on my personal blog where I follow others who blog about their recovery, and to use SR as a major tool to keep me distracted from the witching hour...nighttime.
I won't be using try, hope, etc. either. I'm done with this crap. It has to stop and I don't want my children to lose their mom (nor do I want to die at the young age of 38).
