5 days and still going
Just wanted to thank everyone on this site. I have been sober and not had a drink in 5 days. Doesnt sound like a lot for some, but for me it is. I am used to drinking 8- 12 beers a night along with some shots. I finally realized on Saturday night that it needed to stop.
I am greatful for everyone here. I have learned a good bit by reading different threads and seeing im not the only one and people have similar situations like me.
Thanks again. Have a good night.

Unit - 5 days absolutely sounds like a great achievement to me. Each day counts. And those days add up! Good for you that you've made this positive decision. When I was at five days, I wasn't sure I could trust myself to make it. But so far, so good, one day at a time...
Do you have a plan in case the urge to drink comes over you on the weekend, etc.?

Congrats on 5 days! Those first sober days are still very fresh in my mind. At first, the weekends were always the hardest as that's when I really let the beer flow...now I don't miss it at all. Stay close to SR and best of luck on your sober journey.

Thank you all for the support. It is really helping me get through my struggles. There is no plan in place for a temptation for the weekend, but last night I did hang out at my friends local establishment and didnt have any urge to drink there. I drank water all night. So im hoping that is how the weekend will be wheather I am golfing or fishing. Thanks again for the support. I really appreciate it!!

Congratulations! Weekends were hard for me in the beginning. I'm not sure why because I drank during the week also. Odd! I now look forward to the weekends because its time with husband and son and doing fun things. Chains are off and no longer do I have to be a prisoner to the bottle.
You can continue to do it! Post here if you get an urge.
