Nine months tomorrow

Time to check in again, nine months tomorrow. I will be hangover free and able to do what I am set out to do, God willing of course. It's up and down but mostly up nowadays. I haven't got all my life problems solved but it sure is a lot easier to live life without constantly worry about what I say and do while drunk. The anxiety and the lies I had to tell my wife. I am so glad I can live life on life's terms. Just wanted to share. I know many people come on here daily and struggle with the drink. Hang in there and when you are ready to quit you will feel it. I tried to quit more times than I can count over the years. Somehow this time it seem like it's sticking. Not doing anything in particular. Just made up my mind that I do not want to drink anymore. I was so darned tired of the situation and decided that enough is enough. I'm not saying everyone can do this but it seem all them other times I tried to quit were not really serious. It's like I have no desire to pick up the drink anymore. Sure, I do have cravings but I use a thinking through technique where I envision all the horrors that have happened to me over the years due to drinking, then the craving goes away.

Happy Easter,
