Day 60

I am on day 60 and feeling very optimistic about being able to stay stopped this time. Previous record was only 42 days.

My last few withdrawals have been absolutely horrible (anxiety and depression for weeks at a time, sometimes from the moment I wake up), and since I joined this forum I've learned that if I drink again the withdrawal will be the same again or worse. At this point I feel like there's almost nothing that could make me drink again and go right back to the start and go through that hell again. Kinda sad that it's gotten to this point before I was ready to stop, but I guess the reason for stopping isn't that important as long as it works...

Cravings are also not really an issue at this point. I still get them occasionally, but they are nowhere near strong enough that I would actually consider drinking.

Thanks for this forum, I don't know if I would have made it this far without it.

Awesome Jack. The SR forums are a great help to me too. I don't post often (I will post at 60 days though) I do read others post and educational info daily. I am at 40ish days and cravings are more like occasional thoughts that pass easily not unlike yourself...
