1 month today!
So today is 1 month without the drinking in my life and what a difference I already see with only a month. Seriously, thank you from my heart SR for having my back, talking, giving advice and the upbeat post from all of you. I am so happy I found this sight!
Also I quit smoking ciggs on Valentines day with the help of the patch but I started again yesturday. I feel guilty but, I am to nervous right now to do all at once. So, I put a cigg in my mouth because I am really nervous and I feel so calm with a cigg. I will try again with the smoking when I feel the time is right. To much for me at this time. I am upset I lit a cigg but, everyone was really on a pin with me really snapping at them..... hope they understand. Well 1 month down with the drinking and a life time more to go! Thank you all!

Congrats on the month....so many alchoholics would love to have a month clean,and I understand about the cigs too,I'll try to quit when I feel a little more secure in my recovery.I'm really glad you posted this,its the first thing I read.I'm waiting on a ride to an aa meeting right now and was just killing time.So if you wondering if your message affected anyone,well it did.You put a smile on my face to see another alchohlic or drug user put some space between our old ways and a new way of life..please keep posting.

Nice work, amarz! I remember when I couldn't even conceive of going a month without drinking. But after that first month, man, I felt so good I didn't want it to stop!
And the good news is...it only gets better. Keep it up, and you'll discover wonderful things. As was so eloquently put by our friend Emmy69 (who is celebrating 1 year today), "Sobriety doesn’t make you happy, but it lets you be happy."
I've definitely found that to be the case. I'm not happy just because the booze is out of my life, but having the booze out of my life has allowed me to discover the things that bring me true happiness.
Again, great job, and thanks for being here! I'm really glad you are.

Congratulations out to you for your one month sober. That is awesome and I know how hard it was to achieve that! I'm about 5 1/2 weeks sober and it does get a little tiny bit easier every day. Sure there are still huge bumps in the road but as long as I don't pick up I can cope with whatever comes my way. So can you! Keep going forward, never look back.
Good job amarz! Keep positive, keep that chin up, but most of all keep up the good work!!! Well done
