11 months tomorrow
 

Wow, I can't really believe it, if I make it another month I will be celebrating one year. Don't want to push it so I will concentrate on today and my 11 months tomorrow. I haven't been sober like this since 1996. Man it feels good. I made up my mind that this was going to be a real serious attempt. I have tried probably two dozen times to quit since my early twenties. This time it felt different and I think it was because I decided that I am sick and tired of the drinking lifestyle and I refuse to succumb to a powerless drunkard. I know this goes against a lot of sobriety programs but it works for me so far.

Congrats to you!!! what an accomplishment!!! :D

congrats on 11 months.

Well, not much really, I just made up my mind that I didn't want to live like that anymore. I know a lot of people would say it isn't that easy. Well, I've tried at least a couple of dozen times over the years. Got drunk the first time at age 12. Got progressively worse and by age 20 I was already addicted. I don't know exactly what was different this time. Fear of loosing my family and everything I have had a lot to do with it I'm sure. But I think a strong willingness to get sober once and for all and a genuine desire to change my ways. I don't wan to celebrate too much though, since I had a full year of sobriety in 1996 and then picked back up again. This time though, I feel like I'm done with drink.

That's awesome! Congratulations on making the decision and doing the work!

Excellent!!!

Congratulations your an inspiration!

Brilliant. I particularly loved it when you said 'Man it feels good'

Fantastic! Would love to trade places with you. Great job!
