If I can do this, anybody can

Hopeless (by choice) lush for the past 40 years and stopped drinking 31 days ago. The first 3-4 days I was in primary withdrawal, went to secondary withdrawal for another 4 days but woke up better on day 9. Had PAWS for another 5 days but feeling a little better each day. Now, 31 days into it, I'm back to 100% and sober for the first time since I can't remember! After all, being straight is just another state of mind.

My AV has been caged and muzzled. I no longer have the desire to drink at all! I've never felt better in my life. I'm renewed and focused.

If I can do this, anybody can. If you want to quit, you can make that choice. God gives you the power to choose.

Just some encouragement to those who struggle.

31 days is fabulous, BlueAero. I drank 30 yrs. & in the end it was every day. I can't believe I let it completely take over my life. Thanks for sharing your wonderful news.
