99 Bottles of beer errrrrr.....
99 days with no booze in my body
99 days with no booze
If one of these days I happen to drink again
There is a good chance, everything I might lose!
I'm not much of a poet, but you get the idea.
99 days sober today, and I quit my daily count at 100. Thank you to the SR community for all the support and for some great information and fun discussions.
Stay sober my friends!!

Thank you everyone for chiming in! It's funny how the mindset changes over time. I can look back at my first few posts and see a person who needed support. I told my wife that if she could find me something other that AA about a month prior to me quitting I would do it......with no real intention of quitting of course. Then finally having a horrific personal experience happen to make me really want to quit for myself. Then moving along the first few days of sobriety just trying to get by day to day. Really having trouble not thinking about alcohol for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Then having a moment of clarity about day 30 where I finally felt alive again and realizing at that point that I never wanted another drink for the rest of my life. The last 69 days have been relatively easy because once I truly decided that I didn't want another drink ever, looking at a beer or a bottle of vodka is like looking at a bottle of vinegar or something. I just don't have the love or the desire to drink it or to get the buzz again. The memory of the last withdrawal coupled with the fact that drinking wasn't fun for me the last 3 or so years of my drinking career has really turned the way I used to feel about drinking on it's ear.
Previous to my sobriety life without alcohol would have been impossible for me and the way my life revolved around it. The only thing that I really looked forward to for the previous 27 years was getting drunk, now I look forward to living that same life sober every single day. I used to hate to go to bed when I was drinking and I hated waking up even more until I got the first couple of drinks down, now I cherish my rest after every sober day of spending quality time with my family and friends, and I can't wait to get up and do it over again sober the next day. When I was drinking I checked out on life but now I get to catch up and live in the moment and really appreciate all the things I have been drinking through and taking for granted.
If someone would have told me 4 months ago that I would quit drinking in my lifetime and I would enjoy it more than any buzz I have ever had I would have told them they are full of stuff, but somewhere in the last 100 days I have matured to the point that I can't believe I wasted so much of my life being drunk, and my sober life is really better than any buzz I have ever had. I wish I hadn't waited 27 years to make that decision, but at the same time I'm glad it only took me 27 years to make that decision!
Thank you again for all of your support and have a great night.....I have a life to live now!
