I just stopped as well.
Sometimes something happens which makes your mind up for you. On occasions like this people just stop. They may still relapse later, but it looks like that will not happen with DD. As for me its early days.

You're post touched me. I just recently started out on my own path. I was going to bed drunk and always feared what would happen to my baby girl (18 months old now) if we needed to get to the hospital during the night when I would not be able to drive. It disgusts me looking back that I still knowingly got drunk almost every night and hit the bed just hoping that I wouldn't be called on to drive a vehicle. We're all here for you and as you can see there are alot of good people here to lean on!

I remember your original post DD. Yes, it is possible to quit on your own, but it sometimes takes a 'nudge' or a 'swift kick up the butt' to change your mindset. I can imagine how awful that walk to hospital must have been. My 30 days in hospital were enough for me to stay off it. Not saying that its been easy, as you know, but not wanting to go back to hospital and SR have been hugely important for my recovery. Here's to many many more days, weeks, months, years! x

Congratulations! I too decided that I'm not drinking that poison again. It's been working 19 months for me. Isn't wonderful to know that you can get in your car and go anywhere, at anytime of the day or night and not worry about drunk driving. And to know if you family needs you, you will be there sober and ready to deal with the issue.
Wishing you the best.

Its Me attention seeking as normal..
9 months since that lonely walk back from hospital and 9 months sober.
Still hard to believe, but its this site and the inspirational people here that have been the real help for me, thank you all !
Not going prattle on about how things are better or how magical life is, because these last 9 months have been rocky/hard/easy only now am I starting to stabilise.
But things do get better albeit slowly.
No sleep is magical, cannot deny that.
Err Also lost 2 stone.
Errr Fatter Wallet .
Freedom to what I want when I want.
Plus sober is so frigging cool.
Back wheN i get to 12 months
Thanks
