How many days are you sober? Hi all Today is day 645 or 21 months. Huge achievement! I know we all are very different and cope with our additions differently. First 12 months was all about reminding myself that I can't drink! Ive been to many parties and all of them I secretly envied normal drinkers. Slightest change in my mood triggered an urge to want a drink. Now 21 months later I feel a lot stronger and drink still exists somewhere in my mind. Conclusion: first 12 months is hard but very worth it, next 12 months is a lot easier. I wonder how does it feel to reach 3 years sober. |
Commendable, you should be very proud of yourself. I imagine it takes a lot of willpower to achieve what you have done and I'm sure it has changed your life for the better. It will continue to change your life for the better :) |

Congrats, HealthyFood! 387 days here, or one year and about 3 weeks) I agree - the first year isn't piece of cake but absolutely worth it! Best wishes to all) |

Congratulations to everyone who posts here. Everyday that an alcoholic doesn't drink and an addict doesn't use is a miracle. The sobriety calendar tells me I have 2268 days, 8 hours and 21 minutes free from drugs and alcohol. But I know that all I really have is today, now, this moment. Nothing beyond this is promised and I have to be vigilant to maintain my sobriety. |
160 today. :) |
you made me go look.. (LOL) had to use a sobriety calculator.. 2,481 days (one day at a time!) |
Ten days |

One month shy of four years. Don't know how many days that is. :) |
A day at a time 1563 |
Congratulations to all of us. I hadn't thought of it for years then got 12720 sober/dry days one day at a time of a lot of work at times but sure worth it. BE WELL |

Thank you for starting this thread and everyone who has posted. I'm really leaning on the stories I read here. Trusting that things will get better and easier is what keeps me on track. If I didn't have these stories of redemption, I would be back to drinking today. I don't want to weird anyone out, but I consider all of you prophets. Those that have a vision of the future and point the way for others like me. Your stories mean more than you imagine. |
Congratulations. The last 4 years of my drinking I couldn't stop for a single day. I'd sometimes make it till 9PM, then say, "I'm fine, I can do this", pop open a beer, and wind up wasted again. When I got sober, 90 days was a crazy goal to shoot for, and I honestly didn't believe people who said they sober over 365 days. I thought they were "kinda" sober, but had a few here and there. Just used the calculator on this page Sobriety Calculator | AA Grapevine . Today I have 10,662 days sober. Trust me when I tell you that that is a miracle. |
