I was sitting in the dr office crapping myself about the thought of detox. Not even sure if I could handle it but I did - and I'm doing ok - not great not brilliant but I'm doing allright. I'm doing it. I'm sober I'm not always happy or energetic or even sure if I like being sober at times lol but 99% of the time I'm greatful for what I have in the moment. And that has to be better than riding the ghost train all day and night lol

And thanks to SR because its my main source of support. My other half continues to drink and I've only been to the one AA meeting so far so I owe a lot to everyone here - even just reading your stories helps me.

Yay Emily - you're doing brill
I know what you mean about SR - after 4 years of half-hearted quitting (never lasted more than 10 days), the only difference this time is SR and here I am on day 25.

You are doing really well Emily. Getting sober is a massive adjustment. It gets easier with time. Keep on doing whats working.

I'm the same Zoe - doc said to me two weeks ago 'when was the last time u had 3 days in a row sober' I just sorta grunted at him and laughed - hopefully we will all stick at it this time. 25 days is just the tip off the iceberg for you - I hear a lot of determination in your posts and you have a quiet strength about you. Did you drink every day when you were drinking?

ZoeM

No, not every day - prob once a week BUT it would go on for around 2-3 days
