I have been sober awhile, and my sobriety date is not even in April, but I try to post here every year on the 1st of this month. That's because I feel a special affinity for April fools day (me being one
). I've adopted this date as my own. All the best to everyone. The world will be a better place for your efforts.

I'm in for April as well. I've had a month here, 6 weeks there, and a few other, shorter stints of abstinence over the past couple years, but I've always slipped back to drinking. I really want it to sick his time- there are a lot of positive things going on in my life, but I know that if I don't stop drinking I won't really present to truly experience them fully.
Best of luck everyone!
By the way, what are your plans to stay sober? I've got the next 5 days off before going back to work, so I'm considering just hibernating with my kindle and a good book. Not the most exiting vacation, but will prove to be a VERY memorable one when I look back and realize it was the start of a new, sober life.

Well, that makes me more determined D. I can clock the days while you clock the years. I[ve been here for a while, a looooooong while, my longest was 30 days back in mar/april last year. I haven't quite hit rock bottom....but i'm getting there...progressively, progressive, (where have we heard that word before)!
To any of whom who have read my prior posts, in advance I apologise what seems like empty promises........a trick i'm sure many of us can relate to!.
I've gone the full whack. As I say, i'm maintaining my job, for the time being. I've had to give a statement today to my governing body regarding my rights to f=register and practice. My Dr (psych) has done as he can for me.........despite a load of other detox/withdrawal/anti-craving meds, i've even been prescribed Antabuse. This is not a discussion bout drugs or med intervention discussion........i'm just trying to give you an idea of how deep I am to quit and how far i've fallen...............yet I still keep going....
I can't do the 'day 1' chat anymore but, taro I see my Dr, await result of my LFT's (liver bloods)............from there on while I pray that the news is good........it's a double edged sword.........because I need, for once a fright, a now or never.........an electrician to find my 'off switch'...........I must have one, surely???

Hi everyone. Day 1 here. No alcohol in house, got rid of the empties, got plenty of healthy food in the fridge and a big cup of water right here in front of me. Sun is shining so will take a nice long walk in a few after I write a couple of overdue e-mails. Looking forward to tomorrow being day 2.

Alright day one, let's do this. Off to the gym then a meeting this afternoon with errands in between. Anxiety is almost completely gone. Hoping the gym will get rid of the rest. I am going to buy myself flowers today... Instead of buying wine. Hope everyone has a good day! :-)
