So do you think part of it was a false sense of security (for want of a better term) from hitting 100 days, or just coincidental that it occurred around a round-numbered milestone?
I am always a little curious about how other people's brains work on this stuff. Also promoting analysis is a good thing.

I will succesed this time, I keep telling myself that.... Staying busy, socialize with sober friends, working out daily, instead of going home drinking is an enormous help ... 13 days already....
Hey Johnson. My uncle committed suicide today. I don't know if he was taking drugs but I know that he is bipolar (like myself) and had been off his medication. His partner died from natural causes and my uncle decided that life wasn't worth living after that.
What helps me is to be around people who understand. Sober alcoholics are my people. All we can do is lean on our support and share our grief. It's more about slugging through life sober. It's about living life, experiencing gried, loss and sorrow and letting those feelings move on. Just because someone we love dies doesn't mean we have to dig a deeper hole and climb in. Life is precious. The people who love us, living and passed, want us to keep experiencing life and living in their love.
Keep connected and honor the love y'all had by living and continuing to love.t the world isn't a perfect place but it's full of love if we have the courage to accept it.

Ohh Displaced, I'm so so sorry....alcohol and some of mental health seems to have a connection. All we can do is take one day at the time, focus on the positive stuff, and never give up no matter how hard it is or how many times we fail.... I'm here to listen.....
Getting ahead
Today marks my 13 day, maybe not much but I'm proud. Something deep inside me tells me, I will make it this time. Yes I still would love a drink, but have finally admitted to myself, that if I don't want to be a drunk again, it can NEVER happen... We are alcoholic for the rest of our lives, sober or not...
Think about it.....
Think about it.....
14 day today, and feeling completely normal again, but don't trust myself 100% yet....
Still going to the gym after work everyday to keep my mind occupied, whether its 4 pm or 11 pm.
Life is just so my better without alcohol and I don't take life so serious....
I hope you all do similar things, and to all the really new people, trust it will get better, just don't beat yourself up if you fail, simply just again.. We all done it more than once....
AND THIS IS A WONDERFUL SITE,BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK TO SOMEONE...

Day 15, and I feel so great, I hope I never drink again, what a waste of years of your life... There are so many natural "highs", use them, they are free and make feel better about yourself and you will like yourself better, and so will your friends and family....
A friend said to me today, I got my humor back, can't joke and laugh again....
My life is SOOOO MUCH BETTER NOW......

Day 17...!!!! Feeling great, ready to go to the gym. Working out really remove toxin from your body, return your endorphins and work out the anger and frustration associated with addiction.....
Try it and you will be amazed what it does to your system and ego.....:-)
