I'm not one to draw attention to myself, but I have to admit I'm proud of myself. I have not had even close to 120 sober days in 15 years let alone 120 in a row, so for me this quite an accomplishment.

It's taking a lot of work, patience, and belief that thing will somehow get better. Well they have and I feel hopeful for the first time in years.

I believe I said this on here before, but this place has helped me a ton. It taught me that I wasn't the only one that felt the way I felt or thought the way I did. A month into quitting I thought I might be losing my mind but as I read other peoples stories, I learned I wasn't and that things would get better if you kept at it. Well it did. Certainly everything isn't perfect, but what is.

I know one thing. I'm better off now then I was.

Amazing!

Great job! It's nice to get where you count months instead of days. Then Years instead of months, I suppose. I'm still on months. Keep at it!

Mentium

Great going! Hoping to copy your great example!

If there is one thing I can guarantee you is that if I can do it you can.

ljc267

The one thing I am finding difficult is that I am feeling a lot better, and my mind gets away from me sometimes. I catch myself thinking, hey you can have a few now.

I quickly dismiss it because I know it's not true, but it is bothersome.

Well done on 120 days, keep fighting the urge and think NO you can't have a few. I would have been approaching 120 days soon had I not thought I could have a few at Christmas. Now on day 11, Av was really urging me to drink today. Your doing great and your feeling a lot better without alcohol, don't believe you can have a few drinks and stop, it will get messy.
Stay strong.
