4 months drunk free!!!
I know I'm not out of the woods but omg I feel good
Stopping drinking has done wonders for me...
I am still fearful for the temptations that summer brings...but I love and empathize with you all, will try my best and wish you all success as well

hello
Still doing a nice job.
Thanks for all the support.
nothing more to add except for a few insights.
-I have no choice but to cut certain people and groups from my life...it makes no sense for me to grasp on to them when i know that they increase temptations
-With every week I learn new things about myself and what i am capable of
- A humbling of my ego has begun to occur and is resulting in more inner peace
-I cannot fathom the suffering i put myself through over the past 8 years or so...its tough to look back at so for that time being i have chose not to :-D
Anyways god bless and I will keep trucking..this forum has a soft spot in my heart.

Hello all.
Still using SR as a sounding board.
Anyways I have been sober now almost 6 months :-DDDDDD
life has improved greatly...my mental and physical health are amazing comparitively...
i still go through rough spells....when guilt and shame about my past take over but hey its all part of the journey!
Meditation and sobriety have worked wonders for me and i am blessed everyday that i was given this opportunity to change!!
God bless you all and just know in the end it will all work out.....IF YOU WANT IT!

mckats, I would like to see this thread posted as a sticky to make it easier to find. I can think of plenty of times that linking to this would be the best response to posters who just can't seem to get it.
Well done, and congratulations to you.

Well done McK. Just read the whole thread. Like reading a book with a happy ending 
(although I know it will be life long battle). So good to follow your progress. Very inspiring. Your story will help motivate me in these early days of sobriety, should I feel the urge. Continued success and happiness.

My drinking entered a dangerous phase when, come Friday evening, I would 'write myself off' til Sunday bedtime....a few days 'being good' (mostly because I was ill) and then around Wednesday it would slowly build up again.
Unfortunately I convinced myself I was 'normal' and 'graduated' to all day everyday drinking. That's not a road you want to go down.
...THis is me.
