5 Months tomorrow. Hi all. It's been ages since i updated, so i thought I'd swing by. I'm at 5 months without a drop of alcohol. I'm very happy so far, as i seem to fall off the wagon around the three month mark. My goal is to go for the year and then i have no plans to start drinking again that's for sure. I'm more productive, better at what i do, can handle disappointments with a clear and rational mind. I'm much better at maintaining relationships / friendships. My anxiety has reduced dramatically and i can see that it will continue to do so. I have no desire to drink at all, it's truly amazing. Thank's to everyone who has said it gets easier with time and practice, because it's really true. |
Great news. Congrats :) |
nice one, its always so interesting to hear about the mental improvements when you are drinking you have no idea that a lot of the time its the booze that is making all that way worse |
That's a great milestone! I am anxious to hear about the next five come spring.:c011: |
That's well... Awesome! 5 months is huge, keep it up. Time flys when you're havin' fun:-) -Ted |
Awesome, thanks for posting. It helps to hear from people at all stages/milestones. I can't wait to start knocking out months. --but I have to keep myself focused on today, that's my big thing-- |
Congratulations on 5 months :) |
Great job on 5 months!! :You_Rock_ |
Congrats HA! I'm just a few days ahead of you having gotten 5 months on Sunday. I agree with everything you say - for me, sobriety really has gotten easier with time and practice! |
Way to go! Working on my 12th day here, and each day feels a bit better than the last, for the most part. Can't wait to see what five months feels like! Thanks for posting. It's good to see the optimism. :) |
Congrats on five months sober! :c011: |

Congratulations! What would you say was the most helpful tool for you in staying sober? Do you have any tips for those of us newbies? Probably regular exercise to be honest. It takes my mind off things and the physical transformation that can happen is incredible. Also, having a lady friend forgive my past indiscretions that i couldn't bear to lose again. Practice, like anything you'll get better with practice and trying again. The more you try the easier it will get and time will fly much, much faster. |
