Last week around this time an ambulance showed up at my house (my wife called 911). It took me to ER because I was so wasted I could barely stand. That was the last drink I had. Had to stay overnight and then return home to the shame and guilt. Since then I've been posting here often and went to my first meeting (next one tomorrow). I'm not writing to get kudos just that I wish it was a 7 month or better yet, year anniversary. I want to so desperately leave that behind I wish I could fast forward time.

Thank you my friends for helping me reach 7 days. I know you will help me reach 7 months and then 7 years.

Congrats on a week sober. I think most of us wish we had stopped drinking earlier.

All of us have to fight it, but none of us has to fight it alone.

Good for you, Flea. Keep it going. The only way you'll get to 8 years is by making it to 8 days first. You can get there and we're here with you.

I'd love to have 3 days behind me let alone 7. Even if you can't see it, or touch it, you are healing.

1 Week is awesome glad you want long term sobriety

Wishing you had more sober time is a little like wishing your life away. Live in the day, MightyFlea, while realizing that every sober day is a blessing - what more can one really want than to be sober in the moment and then the next. Your time will grow; enjoy the building process.

Congrats on 7 days.

Your story starts like mine...Except 26 days ago i blacked out on a subway platform and woke up in the hospital from drinking.

Truly one of the scariest/most traumatic moments of my life. 26 days later I've not got anywhere NEAR alcohol since.

I've used it as motivation to strengthen my resolve to never drink again.

One week is amazing. Go at it one day at a time.

SR has your back. They certainly have had mine.
