Lucrezia

Hi everyone~

I just wanted to share my joy in having come 60 days sober!!!! This is a first for me!!! The longest I had ever gone before was 38 days. Now it's 60. This is incredible.

Now, of course, I'm terrified that I'll be like "welp, I've made it this far, now I can drink" or that the pressure will mount higher and higher, like from other people, to not drink... all the expectations... that it will become this "thing I cannot do" and therefore will be tempted to do it.

So I have to keep reminding myself WHY I am choosing not to drink. I could drink if I wanted to. But do I want to? No. Because I know what will happen next...


Anyway, I'm just super excited about being on day 60!!! Woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Good job!! Keep it up. I usually fold after a month too. I'm determined to keep going also.

Well done! Keep going! Knowing that moderation is a false promise is a great way to keep that thought out of your head.

Hi Lucrezia awesome job on 60 days

Your doing exellent

Try to look at those temptations as a way to learn about your addiction instead of something to fear. The temptation is only as strong as you allow it to be in your own mind. If you fear it it will become something bigger than what it actually is... they are just thoughts. You are in control over your actions.

And 60 days is simply wonderful!!

60 days is fantastic, Lucrezia!

Reading through the threads on this site you'll see countless examples of why an alcoholic cannot moderate and how miserably futile it can be to try. Stick with your winning ways, it sounds like you're doing fine!

wonderful!! 60 days is a great foundation.... maybe you can take some time today to ask what's been most helpful and to ensure you keep doing that. Ask what you might do to deepen your sobriety - and add that. Ask how you've grown and what you've experienced that fills you with joy as a result of sobriety already - and be conscious of giving thanks for that!

These sort of things help me stay sober.... I offer them as reflections that may or may not be what you need but take them if you do.

way to go!

WELL DONE!
Keep coming were the words I needed to hear because my undisciplined thinking and processing needed some serious alignment that I received from the old timers.

BE WELL
