Yes!
Hi Dlbkcn,
We can do this together
Jan 1 is my sober date as well. In the past I’ve had anywhere between 1 week and 40 days sober. But I keep trying. So tired though!
Need to make it stick this time! Post often and pamper yourself during this initial stage.
Wishing you the best!

I'm 6 years on the 14th of Feb 2018.
I initially wanted to not drink alcohol for a month.
Here I am 6 years later.
At first was really acutely aware of stopping. It was on my mind the whole time.
Like you maybe in that I was not sure how I was going to do and how long I might not drink for.
The longer I went the easier it became.
I used to say to myself at times when I found it hard going, that if I still felt the same the next day, then I could drink, but I was not drinking over it that same day.
The next day was always better and I never did drink.
The other wisdom I learned from hanging out on here was HALT.
Making sure I was never too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired generally stopped any cravings for alcohol.
I wish you the best and I hope you keep us updated with your progression.

Thank you!
I’m on day 4 and really am so encouraged by you guys. I said I want to make it to two weeks in my first post but really meant a life of sobriety. I just didn’t know how I’d even get this far.
Every word you guys say I’m eating up...soooooo encouraging!!! Love to all!
