Signing in for another 24 on a chilly Tuesday morning.
The feeling of a hangover free morning just never gets old for me, I love it. It's one of the things I appreciate most about sobriety. Taking care of the kids and myself in the morning without feeling physically and mentally like $#!t from the night before.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

I'll jump on the bandwagon for another sober 24 hours, going for 38 straight days!
It was suggested to me that I share what I'm doing, how I'm staying sober when I checked in today. First of all, I am a binger who has never struggled from one hour or one day to the next with the desire to drink. But when I did have the desire, I would go on days-long binges that wreaked some pretty awful circumstances in my life beyond the horrific days-long withdrawal periods when I finally ended a binge. So in a sense I am lucky in that most days I don't have to fight cravings or urges.
With that said, I think that reading and contributing to these forums plays the biggest role in my staying sober. I enjoy coming here, and this place keeps me mindful of my sobriety every single day, which helps to ward off complacency. My attachments to the people here also help to keep me accountable. If I drink, I would feel compelled to come here and confess. I know that if I did I would not be judged, but all the same I don't want to have to come back here and admit to a slip/relapse/whathaveyou. I want to keep racking up the sober days.
I said when I first started reading and posting here that I thought and hoped I was finally REALLY READY to quit. Is that still the case? I think so. I still think about drinking, still hear the Addictive Voice in my head sometimes, but I am, at least at the moment, pushing back some, whereas before I would just answer its call almost without a second thought.
I think I'm going to go to an AA meeting (first one I've been to in months, as I'm not an AA-er) tomorrow just as another defense against complacency.
Thanks to everyone here for the incredible support and love. I truly believe that this place is, quite literally, a potential lifesaver for many of us.
Stay strong everyone -- just for today!
