Happy to say that I made it thru a crappy day and now I'm less than an hour away from starting my 40th sober day. 40 days and 40 nights... it should stop raining soon, I think...
Getting close to six weeks now. I'm impressed. Never thought I could stay sober this long. Longest time in the last 16 months or so. Pleased I"m finally getting it right. Finally able to do the right thing instead of the 'immediate' thing.
Thank you all for being here and for letting me vent and scream and cry. I love you all.

G'day All,
I'll be away for a couple of days but I hope to see everyone still here when I get back. Everytime we don't pick up a drink/drug we gain a victory. Every victory counts, every day counts, everyone counts. So don't give up.
See ya soon.

I am having a hard time now. I do not want to be an alcoholic anymore.. I just have thoughts running through my head... How will I ever be able to date again as an alcoholic. Everyone I know drinks and if they do not they are not my type 
I know so petty, but it is hard...

I don't have to worry about dating cause no one's shown any "interest" in me for years. But I'm happy to be single and won't do anything that could wreck my sober time. Every sober day I gain strength. Every sober day I feel better. Every sober day makes me more determined to stay sober.

In less than one hour I'll have 41 days sober. And the morning after tomorrow I'll have SIX WEEKS!!
I love counting my sober days. It gives me mental exercise and gives me even more reason to stay sober. I'm not quitting this battle. I'm not throwing away my sobriety for anything. It means that much to me. My sobriety is starting a new and better life and I can't live a better life if I'm too drunk or too hungover to function well.
I'm not trying to be boring, counting down each second and minute and hour, just keeping track so I'll have lots to motivate me if I'm feeling tempted.
And, I will post here if I ever have a bad craving. I can't do this all by myself, or at least, don't WANT to do it by myself. It sure helps to have all this support and my own cheering section!

Just a quick check in, I am off on holiday today so I won't be around for a week.
The last few days have been pretty good, haven't thought about drinking, probablly cause I can't stop thinking about smoking lol.
Anyway will see you all when I get back.

Day 51 and day 13

Hey Christin and Dancing Girl - without alcohol you could probably really get to know the guys you're dating and have them get to know you also. 
I'm really enjoying being touched lately (please...don't go there anyone...see my other thread and you'll know why). Seriously, alcohol not only numbs your feelings and inhibitions but your body as well. I am really enjoying the sensations of things I had long forgotten about. I won't delve too far into this and make anyone uncomfortable but there are some fun things to do without getting high/buzzed. Things to look forward to ladies and gentleman.
