6 weeks sober

Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks sober. It's been hard. I feel that hankering for a drink several times a week, but I think of my past regrets from drinking to somewhat kill my desire. Just one drink. Just one. No. I've went this far and have to keep trucking. No hangovers rule. I wish drinking wasn't so commonplace in society. When your sober it seems like EVERYONE drinks. EVERYONE!

I couldn't stop drinkin' until the bartender said, "WE GOT NO MORE F@CKING LIQUOR! Now take your ass home, pal." - Richard Pryor

My plan is to remember the person I used to be and never be that person again.

You are doing amazing... I'm in AA and it's changed my life amazingly... It does get easier and easier... 1 drink leads to a drunk! 1 drink sets up a craving and you are back to square one...

Contratulations indeed. Very signifcant milestone.
It can sometimes can be hard to find those outside of SR who can appreciate it.
We get it.
