Day 8 today. Had a colonoscopy at 9 AM (all clear, colon that is) and I told the nurse that i "didn't drink anymore". I felt like I was lying to her, but I was REALLY lying to every other healthcare provider in the past when I would say "Yes, but moderately".
Yesterday, no one in my family said that they had even noticed that I had stopped drinking. I guess I was quite functional. I'm sure my wife noticed that I came right home after work tho.

Helloooooo all!
I took a road trip, so was away, and come back to part three of our thread!
Hope everyone is well and doing good.
I'm working through issues I had created for myself while blowing bubbles in the liqueur haze I'd been subjecting myself (and others) too. Can't say it's been easy, or that everything is peachy keen now, but it feels fantabulous knowing I've developed the guts now to face it.
It's really odd...some things which seemed so daunting to face, were actually tolerable, while others I had not really figured were as big of issues have been the most complex. Goes to show how jacked up rational mental function can become when your tossing back drinks until oblivion comes.
No more of that fiasco! 16 days sober. So much still to work on, but I am grateful for the opportunity.
Stay focused and put a pep in your step, classmates!

Today is day 19 for me. I'm loving watching that number grow! The last 2 days have been hard. Clenching my jaw, crying, shouting HARD. But I am so happy I didn't give up. Maybe next time I'll handle the stress a little better. Maybe not... But im still here.

19 days here too! Here's to seeing three weeks the day after tomorrow. It seems like I was just marveling over day 7... then 10... Now I'm seeing a month within view.
Hope you're doing well getting through the holiday season ( we picked a challenging time to stop, but it's nice seeing the holidays through a sober lens).

Just checking in! Hope everyone is doing fantastic... listen we all have struggles everyday and for once let's put ourselves first and choose not to drink because I promise you the other problems will work them selves out and if not you will be sober to face them head on. XO

Hello all. Day 0 I guess as I was drinking until 5 am and it's only 9 now.
A long story...I had 2 and a half years sobriety and I threw it away last night.
I need to start again and this isn't easy.

Good morning y'all!
Glad you're here Shenzy and Jeni!
Waking up to day 18 and it's pouring outside.
This was the kind of day I used to love because I thought I had a 'valid' excuse to stay inside and drink all day!
I could make myself believe anything!
Hope everyone has a good and sober day no matter what the weather!
