30 days here too- overwhelming gratitude
32 days ago I couldn't imagine even one day without a drink, but my body was broken and my life was passing me by in a drunken haze. I was going to quit- (and I meant it this time ?!- so I hoped). Step one was going to be tapering so day 31 I was "going to only have" 3 drinks instead of....... well we all know what happens and it did- I drank just as much as I ever did. Tapering was NEVER going to work so, against even my own best judgement I went could turkey. In retrospect, the insomnia, horrid night sweats that had me changing bedclothes every hour- palpitations, etc- serve as a physical, tangible reminder to me as to why I should and will not drink (as they say- at least I wont drink today! And hopefully a thousand plus more todays hereafter).
30 days. How many cases? How many precious minutes with my family? I am in awe.
This place, SR has been everything I could have asked for and I can't wait to spend MANY more "day plus 30's" with you all. Thanks for the hands this past month- and Deeker- THANK you for every little message of congratulations. I can not even begin to tell you on some of the roughest days how they encouraged me and gave me strength to go for one more day. You have my love and respect for that always!
Thank you SR family. I love each of you!

30 days is wonderful liberated! We know how hard it is in the beginning, but you made it through! Things will get easier as you go along - and you never have to return to that uncertain & dangerous place. Love and respect right back at you. 
You inspire me!
