51 days and I was still in the worst of the fatigue. Starting to come out of that now (if I don't mix my day and night supplements) at 75 days. I'm starting to believe my memory is improving as well. 51 days is a large chunk of time--can you believe it's been that long?

Very very nice Thomas!
Lots to be proud of. Most people have spent the last 51 days going through the motions and didn't make much forward progress in life overall.

Not you! Keep the train rolling. Make the next 50 days even better!

You got there one day at a time. You strung 51 single days in a row. Many of those days you made STRONG commitments to improving your life and took action.

Don't stop now! Of course don't drink, but don't stop making daily commitments to mKing your life better.

Good job buddy!

I have followed your posts. You have made great progress. You are an inspiration for guys like me. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to get those forthcoming benefits ( clear head / clarity) from being sober
Hi Charlie, you will be glad you have done what you are doing, and that is staying sober. Proud to say I was an inspiration. I had inspiration from others on this site as well. A gentlemen who goes by zaboozer (i think) really grabbed me, and I was inspired by him. Stay on track and you will then become an inspiration to someone who is just starting to enjoy the benefits. The cycle continues.

I hit one month (depending on how one calculates) about one hour ago. It is only a month but I am grateful. It has actually gotten more difficult rather than less the past couple of weeks for reasons I don't understand. I'm inspired, after reading your posts for weeks, that you did it.
Your story inspires me.

Thanks DonTolan, There are alot of things I don't understand about this journey as well. But I don't let them distract me from the end goal. Please don't let them distract you either. Sorry to hear it was getting a little harder, but stay on track. Congratulations.

Hi Bluefairy. no, I can't believe its been that long. It has gone so fast. I read that for others it seems to drag on forever, but for me, its been the opposite. I don't obsess over drinking like I used to. I'm actually engaged and present in "life". So its been good.

Hi Incontrol, Thank you for the compliments. Not sure if you follow my posts but I had a couple injuries that were horrific and the daily challenges early on were extremely difficult. Some of the most difficult in my lifetime. And yet when actively drinking, fighting the urges to drink was equally as difficult. My point in saying that is that it goes to show us how powerful alcohol is to the alcoholic.
