Still here
Am closing down day 36! Pretty darn happy with the sobriety. Have had some moments of "damn I need a drink," but haven't touched a drop. It kinda makes me nervous that I am not struggling...the mind games of "heck, maybe I'm not an alcoholic, maybe I just need to be moderate." But, I know that is the voice of disaster speaking. Have yet to start some personal therapy and address other issues in my life, like my marriage, and disillusion with all of that...Hang in there friends, and stay sober!!

Glad to hear it intro! Thanks for checking that pesky voice will pop up at times telling you that you are "better" and that a drink or two can't hurt. Good job on realizing that and not falling for it!

My poor marriage has contributed greatly to the drink over the years, as well as self medicating with painful health issues. I know I need to get out, I'm bored to death with this carcass of a relationship. It's been dead for several years.

I think getting a little counseling around the issue is a great idea. If there's no abuse, it can wait a little while. Making big decisions like divorce can wait until sobriety is well-established. I had to really look at my part in failed relationships and I couldn't even think clearly at 30 days.
