One month today for the first time ever! :)
For the first time in my adult life, I have been completely sober for a whole month (OK, technically, I have probably had maybe 4 ounces in 30 days - occupational habit).
I feel great, most of all because of the knowledge that I'm no longer controlled by planning to make sure there was a drink for me somewhere.
I was never one of those hard-alcohol drunks - I always hated being drunk and probably only got drunk maybe 3 or 4 times a year, but I always drank too much in total and at the end, I always wanted to have just a little buzz on, starting around noon. Definitely not a good trajectory.
I'm happy to have found this supportive forum and am looking forward to reaching 3 months sober, my self-set next milestone.
Cheers!
PS: I'm going to make so much money on NYE, driving Uber and Lyft, carting all those drunk folks home, and I'll wake up fresh and bright, the next morning. Unlike them.

One month is important. For me, it marked a realization that I could really stop. The cravings become less bothersome thoughts, and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel became a big motivator. No actually, I was at the end of the tunnel and in the light by then. All I had was the road ahead to travel, but I was definitely out of the tunnel.

WOW one month, amazing!!! This is such a beautiful, curious, scary and precious time. Keep it fresh, everything you are feeling. This is such a wonderful accomplishment. I know what it is like to be in awe of something that most people wouldn't understand in the real world; completing a length of time sober that we have not had since we were children.
It is a feat to be proud of, I am proud of you!
