boozefree, i have been sober 70 some days. In the past few weeks good things have been happening to me. And I'm at the point now where i think if i where to take a drink the good things will stop happening, that is what keeps me sober.
Hopefully the same thing happens to you too

Congrats on the sober time! I think after I get past these first couple weeks I will be thinking the same thing.

And then there's New Years Eve... I still cringe when I think about last year! I don't know when midnight was. I think I started 2010 in the shower while my friends washed my shirt because I was already throwing up everywhere. Hopefully the vague memories of that night and the vivid memories of the next day will make it easier to stay sober! These friends are very supportive of my sobriety. Incidents like the beginning of 2010... and the rest of 2010... might have something to do with that!

boozefree, when you start craving it you just have to say no. You know you shouldn't drink.
I wont even think about drinking, my stomach turns at all the stupid things i used to do

Thats exactly what I was thinking this morning.. I was like wtf was I thinking that it would be ok to drink. I know I am an alcoholic and that drinking cant be an option for me.. ugh oh well. I do feel better now and am trying to stay positive. I am def staying in this weekend as I know I would drink for sure if I were to go out.

28 here. And drinking since age 16. Ugh. So many wasted days due to hangovers. Hoping that is all over now. It's kind of scary seeing what alcohol has done to some of my peers. I can think of a few 30 somethings I know who look like they are 10-15 years older than they are. Don't want that to be me! Yeah maybe I'm a little bit vain :-)
