40 days, 40 nights, sober

Feels pretty good. Regardless of pangs or frustrations or AV chatter, I've never been more certain about never drinking again.

Crushing it in the gym. Procrastinating at work. 41yo as of a couple days ago. Baby girl on the way in a month.

Life is life - but it's all more manageable, interesting, simple, valuable, full, sober.

Not huge on counting days, but I am looking forward to getting into the 50s. I've never been sober that long since I was a teenager.

Ignore the 9.9. It's 10s across the board.

Glad you are around man. 'Grats on the baby girl.

40 days and nights, just like the floods, and your "ark" was strong enough to make it through! Awesome LG! I know the feeling of looking forward to the bigger milestones too. But

You're an inspiration Grav. I'm 44 as of the 18th but I'm in a perpetual mid-life crisis with 50 looming around the corner. I love your outlook though. Inspiring. I've also never been more certain I'll never drink again. It does feel pretty friggin good.

Congratulations on the upcoming baby girl! I have two little princesses of my own. I missed out on their first few years because I was drunk or high or both, escaping from my new reality. I do regret that so much but it's what made me get sober now before they got too much older. Still 5 and 3 so I didn't miss everything. Enjoy the baby time. It's a lot of work and little sleep but you'll wish they could stay babies forever.

Keep on rockin' it brother!

Thank you so much everyone, LS and Rar and Buck and Dee etc.

This place is the best.

Onward and upward. I truly believe that a better life awaits us all.
