4 weeks today :-)

...since I drank my last drink of poison...today I feel strength in my sobriety, I feel more in control than I have for a long time, and though I am glad for the other sober periods its time to keep looking forward and not back!

Think I need to join a class lol! xx

way to go!!

I like the way you say "my last drink of poison".

I use that idea a lot too.... when my AV is trying to tell me that a situation might be better with alcohol... when I'm feeling nostalgic or tempted; I remind myself that what I'm thinking about is DRINKING POISON.

WHY the hell would I want or need to DRINK POISON??????

It seems to help.

Congrats on 4 months!

I also refer to it as poison. I want to keep making alcohol as unappealing as possible.

Keep up the good work!

It's nice to feel IN control and not BE controlled by alcohol. Way to go!
