21 days today

Three weeks may not be all that long but it is a start. I'm not going to get all cocky like I got this thing beat. I made the mistake in the past of looking beyond today, of thinking I could do it my own, of thinking medication will do the trick, of underestimating this disease, of thinking I could have just one, etc, etc, etc. Not drinking today is all I need to be concerned with. I will always need help from others. Medication alone will not keep me sober. I have an incurable disease. I will never be able to just have one. I will work hard to stay sober because I'm worth saving.

tkdan 21 days is awesome, but as you are doing now, staying in today is one of the keys, today is the only day we have total control over.

Today is 20 for me, I too have made the mistake in the past of thinking I have it beat and ended up back where I started. Keep it up man! One day at a time is where it is at for me.

Thinking of you Dan. I'm only a few steps behind you. (Day 19) I'll keep trying to catch up to you (21 days) and you keep running in front of me. I'll race ya to the end.
