6 Weeks Sober
Well, I’m still Sober!
I didn’t really plan on doing this but I was in a bad place. I realized this and with stern recommendations from loved ones I just stopped.
I haven’t been sober this long since I was a teenager. I’m now 47. A heavy daily drinker for more years than I can remember.
Thank you to everyone here for the encouragement and thank you for sharing your experiences.

Six weeks is fantastic, WestsideGuy. Congrats! That is really an accomplishment and I hope you keep it going. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it is worth it. I quit a few times in my 40's, even had 3 months once, but couldn't hold onto it, mostly due to work pressure (and bad thinking). It took me until 58 to make it happen, thanks to this site. I so wish I had been able to do it a decade earlier, at your age.
Keep up the great work friend.

WestsideGuy, Congrats on the 6 weeks sober! Great job. I’m on day 45... haven’t gone to counting the weeks yet. I did this once back in 2013 after some very stern words from the love of my life. I slipped up in 2017 (after four freaking years!) and in no time, I was back to almost a 750 ml of vodka on most days. Now I’m pushing 60 and gonna make this stick.
This forum is awesome to read and talk and remind myself why I have to maintain a sober life. Perhaps even one day I can help someone else maintain.
Life is a whole lot better when you can sleep normal, think straight and make good decisions.
