42 days sober today. Have no desire to drink. I think doing it for myself and seeing how the booze was destroying my mind and body was motivation for me to stay sober. I know I cannot drink again and moderation never worked. Im content in my life I'm handling everything better. I have more confidence in myself more than ever now than what the alcohol ever gave me. I never thought that I would feel this way. Anti-deppressants have helped me to take control of my life which was very miserable existance. I know longer have the urgent need to escape from reality with an alcohol fix. This day, this hour, right now I have the power to choose not to drink. My life is not perfect but am enjoying it more and more everyday. I use this forum as a tool to my success. If I have an issue I sought it out or go to the doctor. I have the strong support of my friends and family. I consider myself in recovery.

I wonder what has happened since? I am on my 42nd day today and, for the first time in the last several weeks I think about a drink, I can feel a build up to a drink like a done deal.

Not today, for I am busy, not tomorrow for I am busier but perhaps afterward. And that scares me. Did you manage to stay sober?
