The question is asked so often by those entering sobriety that this seemed to be a needed thread. Naturally after some reading of the thread we see that there is no set time for each person but, a common pattern is shown.
Those first days, weeks and for some months of not drinking can be very rough but, we sober ones wish to share with the newcomer that the payoff is a great one. For most sobriety offers the relief for the mind, body and soul that we yearned so long for.
Keep the plug in the jug
