Longest Drinking Binge?
 

I'm 30 days sober today. How long was your longest drinking binge and what made you stop? My longest was two months, but that was 9 years ago. My last binge was 35 days. I decided to stop because I love myself and my family more than I love the alcohol.:praying

Congrats on one month sober! :hug:

As to the longest binge... don't know, don't care to think on it. What matters is I'm sober now.

Congrats on your 30 days!:bday6

I want to only think about how many days I can I stay sober......:c011:

Mine was 4 months and what slowed me down but didn't make me stop was a DUI

Sober days are the best!

I'm glad you found us.

Pretty sure I was on a binge for the last 3 years.....

My wife and family have made me stop. Even before the Pancreasitis,.

Usually had a day off every 2 weeks or so, 35 day binge is legend! Is legend the right word? hehe

Anyways hope you stay sober and keep being strong:-)

Congrats on 30 days! And days spent sober is more important than time drunk, but my longest straight binge was about nearly 4.5 years...stopped due to running out of ways to keep getting more booze(lying, stealing, borrowing), but primarily stopped because I hated seeing the downward spiral I was going down and now I'm 5 days sober and I feel so much better in these 5 days than I did in those 4 years...so I'm just gonna stay focused on how I can stay sober for the rest of my life...at least I remember more about these 5 days then I do about them four years. That's always nice. Congrats on 30 days again! Keep it up!

I think pretty much all by drinking was a bender -it depends how you define it. My last six weeks of drinking bordered on the suicidal and only ended when my body could take no more and I ended up in hospital. I drank whenever and whereever I could, and seeing family, friends, collegues, going to work, going out, eating, sleeping was but a mere distraction from my drinking. I spent about two weeks living in my flat, only going out to walk the 100 yards to the shop to but more booze, which was in itself an effort, fuelled only by an almost animal instinct to drink more. A scary place to be. I could not stop and it was only be admitted and being drugged to the eyeballs with Librium for 5 days that I could get it out of my system. That was almost 20 days ago and have not drank since. Its thinking how bad things got and how much I could have lost (i.e. my life) that gives me the strength to try and live each day at a time sober. Its somehitng learnt at a high cost, but we all gotta figure this stuff out in our own way.

Take care

Not a drinker. But wanted to say great job on 30 days.

When you say binge do you mean non stop drinking only stopping when you fall asleep then start drinking again? If so mine was 12 days

Congratulations on your sober time

I consider I drank alcoholically for about 5 years.
Depression is why I decided to quit.
