I'm on board. The first New Year's midnight ball drop I remember in 10 years. Felt great being sober. Quit date 12-30-2011. Having lots of issues with spouse already pulling away due to my new sobriety. I;m not as much fun if I'm not slurring my words or depending on him to pour me another drink. However, I'm going to do this. I want to remember every night of 2012. I've lost so many night over the last 10 years. I am praying this site is where I was meant to find the strength to stop.

This is nice, my quit date was 26 dec 2011.
We can share the rocky road together.

The first time I came here was Jan 2009 by way of an ultimatum from my wife. I went 10 months without drinking and after the ultimatum was dropped I moderated successfully for a couple of years but in the last few months I have been going to the bars too frequently again so it is once again time to draw in the reigns and give total sobriety another run.
Hope we can all do this together.
Posting and reading at SR daily was the most important thing that I did to succeed.
Good luck class and happy New Year.

Well its 18.30 here and im stone cold sober which is good for me as by now i would of drank at least 8 pints of lager.I will be going to bed early tonight as me and the wife are expecting our 3rd baby and its due anytime now....Today i woke and i felt a little rough but as the day went on my appetite came back and i started feeling better...I have had no cravings at all for beer or cigarettes as i have quit those as well.....The big test will be bedtime as the first few days of quitting i never get any sleep.....Hope everyone has had a good day and i'll be back to update tomorow..............

Good idea to go to bed early, it helps remove you from routine ie, drinking, and best wishes for your soon to be ,new addition

Just want to let you all know that it IS possible to quit. I did it in January of last year and the time has flown by. And for the most part it's been a good year. Good luck and stay focused!

I never rolled over from a month to a month. December seems to be closed. Do we just keep posting now?

Present!
Christmas was the last day of my old life. I'm looking forward to a fresh sober life in 2012!

no need to roll over Rich - this thread is for folks getting sober now in January...

the December thread reached 500 posts - so we moved it to the Daily Support Forum for part 2.

Count me in. I've been alcohol free since December 19th, but I never joined the December thread.

Ending day 1. Sick to my stomach all day and sweaty. I will use today as a reminder of what drinking leads too next time I think about getting wasted. Grateful to be able to post here on SR. It's only a little after 7 and I'm beyond tired going to try and get some sleep. Have to make this time stick. I don't know how many more chances at sobriety I will get.
