Made it to 1 month yesterday
Wow, and what a month it has been.. I keep thinking it feels like eternity since I've had a drink and it's only been thirty one days. I got a ton of stuff done in the last month and I've probably been awake twice as much between getting out of work time and midnight, drank about a hundred and fifty less drinks in the last month (zero being how many i've had) and over the last 8 and a half months, I've been sober for 7 of those months (about a thousand less drinks). i noticed there are a lot of new people here since i signed up last year, and would just like to say a collective hello to everyone, hang in there new people, sober is such a good feeling. here's what is working for me.
1. I can never ever drink again, period, drinking is not an option.
2. when I get complacent, don't.
3. go back to step 1.
Even if I just don't drink and remain a dry drunk, it's ten times better than drinking.

Congratulations, OCDDan!
Monday was four weeks for me. Feeling great...calm and confident. Made it through a 50th birthday BBQ and an after work event as well. Just keep reminding myself that if I have one I'll want ten.
Continued strength and peace to you...and to me and to all of us.
