7 weeks or 50 days?

I couldn't decide whether to wait until tomorrow and share the fact that I will have had 50 days sober or to post today that I have 7 weeks!

In the end impatience won the day (as it so often does with me!).

Soooo - seven weeks it is!

..and as I have said several times before, if a life-long drunk like me can do it so can anyone!

All the best of sober luck to those who are struggling. It really can be done.

..oh - and it gets much better too as time goes on!

7 weeks is GREAT Mentium!

You'll be in triple digits before you know it.

Reading posts like yours encourage me to get one day further away from day one.

Thanks everyone!

Really - those of you who are struggling - struggle not. Just don't pick up a drink and let it happen all by itself!

Mentium and advbike, we all stopped drinking on the same day. Glad to see we are all doing as well as we are with our new commitment.
Let's keep going.
