one week
I am happy one week sober drank lots of ice tea its 8.45 here and believe me I am usualy out cold by now no longer waking up dehydrated and sleeping well couple of strong cravings and that empty feeling but that goes away no empty feeling that's in my mind.Somebody on this forum spoke about romanticising drinking and trying to relive there youth I think in some ways I have been gulty of that but in my youth I wasn't sitting in the spare room at 3 am drinking a couple of tall beers or drinking every night or sitting with my wife having one beer while I was sneaking another in the kitchen or wishing she would go to bed so I could drink as fast as I want without feeling guilty or panicking on the long weekend in case I didn't have enough drink to do me as the liquor and beer stores were shut for a day the people at the liquor store didn't know me by my first name.No more heres to one week and one day tks for all your support..................

Way to go Grampa !... 7 days is wonderful !
I feel your pain. For the last 15 years beer was my drug of choice. There is a "liquor Store" on every street corner called "Convienence Stores" and most stay open and sell alcohol around the clock. One is a short walk, < 3 mins from my house.
That has really all changed the last year or so when Vodka started creaping into the picture (progressive, remember?). I finally wised up and realized Acceptance and a "Hard line" decision that any and all alcohol was no longer a choice in my life. Period!
I encourage you to make the same "Hard-Line" decision in your life as well. Look into AA speaker tapes...and "Odomtology" on You-tube for starters. These two and a Catholic Priest named Father Martin gave me some wonderful insight on this demon we are fighting!
Good luck to you !
