To the newcomers; it's possible to get and stay sober but you've got to want to stay sober more than you want to drink. I finally got to that point of desperation and now am living happily sober.

I have no desire to drink anymore. The only time drinking crosses my mind is when I feel glad I don't do it anymore.

Give it your all and don't give up. Living sober is possible and wonderful.

Thank you SR!

I LOVE these types of posts. I really wish everyone could get past those 2-3 months they seem to be struggling with and get to experience the magic and amazement of living a sober life.

Wow, least - I remember like it was yesterday how those early days were. You hung on for dear life and made it through the storm. So proud of your accomplishment.
