Congradulations on 28 days sober. Could be a great title for a movie. Wait...... too late. Sandra Bullock already did it. Can you ever drink again normally? Actually a fairly common question for many of us when we first get sober. And for some others, there is no question about it. We are done. Just curious, why did you quit drinking? Was alcohol causing problems in your life? If you get sober and life starts to get better. You begin to clean up the wreckage that drinking had brought into your life. Slowly, the fog lifts. Why would you want to risk throwing it away? I really see no difference between this and say someone who gets cancer from smoking. They go through Chemotherapy. Perhaps lose a lung. But, they recover. Now that they have recovered from the cancer tobacco gave them, they decide to try and smoke again without getting cancer. Why? Sorry, makes no sense to me. Now, I'm just assuming if your here and posting with 28 days sober, perhaps drinking has caused some problems in your life? Drink again normally? Why take the risk? As time goes on and you begin to grow in your recovery, chances are you will miss drinking less and less until one day you will no longer have the desire to drink. You will realize you dont need it. I would wish you luck, but recovery from drugs and or alcohol has nothing to do with luck. It has everything to do with a lot of hard work. But, it's so worth it.
