i am sober 1 day : ) |
2 years and 2 months here. |
Today is day 17. After surviving six withdrawal seizures over the past three years, i've decided I can only gamble with life so much and be lucky. |
Slightly over a year now. |
26 years last Monday (9/22). |
2 years plus 4 months, tomorrow.my math is off I think, its 2 years count em..okay, its 2 years, 2 months on Oct 1 |
370 days. Feel so lucky and blessed that I was ready to commit to my sobriety. It has changed my life. I wish you all the blessing of sobriety. I do not practice any religion but blessing is the best word to describe what freedom from alcohol feels like. Not always easy, some days suck. But nothing as bad as each day I was enslaved to alcohol. You can do it! |
Ten months today. My initial quit date of 11/12/13 had to be reset after a slip. I'm claiming 12/1/13. I'm glad I checked this poll because it's been inspiring. I had 10.5 months before I relapsed a year ago August. I'm grateful for SR, AA and all the newcomers and old timers who remind me each day of where I was and where I can go. One day at a time. |
Glad you're here, Ruby. Life is a lot easier since I have been sober since it was when I unsuccessfully battled alcohol for so many (13 - 15) years. |
Sorry about the poll leaving many out there less than 30 days over 6 months for the ones who have 30 days and up to 6 months we salute you. MM |

Hey. This is a great one. Is there not a missing option between less than 30 days and more than six months? I couldn't fit myself in! |
13 days for me and I am feeling as happy as if I have made 13 years!! |

Food for thought What is the Percentage of Alcoholics Who Stay Sober? - Spiritual River I try to choose my words gingerly when, I mention how many people disappear from here. Bare this in mind though Now take all of the people who made it to 90 days sober. About 5% of THOSE people will make it to 2 years sober. So there is sort of this drop off rate that slides, and it is a pretty scary slope. Make it to 90 days and you are not out of the woods yet. Make it to 2 years and you are STILL not out of the woods yet. However, if you make it to 4 years sober, then your chances of achieving “permanent sobriety” jump significantly. The statistics show at that point that if you make it to 4 years sober, you will probably stay sober forever. Of course with addiction there are no certainties. |
Oh man. In about six months I can click the 5 year button. |
