22 Days!!!
On the cusp of my first month sober in almost 4 years, I am feeling very good about my sobriety, except for one thing.
... I want to drink.
I'm not going to. I just want the desire to go away. I see it on television or in movies, and it looks so good to me, even if its not a liquor I even like.
22 days is the longest I've gone without drinking since I started when I turned 21, so that's good news lol.
I'm hoping things will get easier the longer I'm sober.

congratulations Programmer.
I wanted to drink too - it had been the corner stone of my life for 20 years...but the more I stayed sober and the more I worked on myself, the more my life changed, and the more I changed, and that desire to drink became less and less an imperative....
stick with it

I am having a hard time today as well. I am on day 12, but I want a case of beer so very bad. I am not going to do it because I know it is not the answer. Not to mention the horrible guilt that I will feel in the morning. Its becoming more like hour by hour for me....but I will NOT drink today. Good luck.
