1 week
Normally I wouldn't post and be excited about a week as to me it is no big deal but I think that could be my problem. I don't celebrate my sober milestones like I should. I am literally saving my life one day at a time. 1 week ago today I was sick and thought I was dying (for maybe the 1000th time? :/
1 week whoo hoo!

One week is great! Mine was pretty rough, but I had made my decision, or I was going to die. I hope your transition into sobriety goes smoothly. You are right, you will lose everything if you don't take this seriously. You will lose your health which you cannot replace.
I remember those horrific hang-overs. The kind where my vision was dark in the periphery, kind of like tunnel vision. I remember my eyes being blurry no matter what I did, and the feeling of nausea so strong that suicide sounded like a good choice. I remember forcing down another drink in that condition, while gagging and sometimes barfing it right back up, but I would do it again and again, until I had enough poison in me to numb the pain. I couldn't brush my teeth without gagging -horrible! I was so sick one morning that I sincerely considered peeing in the bed and just rolling over to the other side rather than get up and use the toilet. I remember not showering for 4 or 5 days at a time -yuck. I still have a long way to go at 224 days, but I really do feel that the worst is behind me.
Have a look/listen to Alcohol Explained, by William Porter, it helped me immensely.
Take care, you can do this.
