I made it

One month today. I haven't gone this long sober in 5 years. I haven't felt as good the last 2 days as I have last week though. I have been having dreams of having cocktails and I must say, they were quiet enjoyable. I have to keep reminding myself everyday that I am an alcoholic and I can never drink again. I have decided at this point that I do not want to do AA. One of my family members and a friend really turned me off about it. I may change my mind later down the road but for now, I am getting my strength from God, my daughters, and this site. Thank you all so very much. I doubt I would have ever made it thus far without you.

Wow a month! It seems so long, but the rent comes due fast, doesn't it?

I'm hoping to get that far one day, so I know, from less than a month, how much it matters. I haven't had cocktail dreams yet, but I did have a friend suggest cocktails the other day. Awkward.

Congrats!

Congrats on a month! That was huge benchmark for me. I remember around day 25 it got really rough for me. Instead of caving, I used the tools that have been given to me and all of them, and my HP, got me through it.

Keep up the good work!!!!
