Two weeks sober
I've mananged anywhere between 2 weeks and a month a few times before and then relapsed because I couldn't envisage the rest of my life without alcohol. I'm now thinking in terms of the wonderful benefits an alcohol free life will bring me, and I'm determined not to let alcohol rob me of them. I've removed all alcohol from the house and I've opened up to a few more people about my sobriety this time around. I need to find new and better ways to occupy my old drinking time. I'm so determined that I've had my last drink. I think it helps to really focus on the benefits to stay positive. Considerably better health and appearance, respect of family and friends, precious moments not lost in a drunken haze or a preoccupation to find the next drink, more money, the capacity to help others, no hangovers, freedom from the slavery of alcohol!
Best wishes all.
