Hi

Hi, I just found this site last night so don't mind me snooping around and attempting to see what and learn from all you fine folks are up to.

My recovery started March 12/15 and I am giving it my all! Local meetings, big book study, sober living study etc.

Life in the last xx amount of days have been such a blessing out from under that dark cloud. There r good days and bad days but even the worst sober day is far better than my best druNk day!!! If that makes any scense.

I'm in a small town in central Manitoba. Looking forward to this forum. Safe 24 all

Seems like u are doing well.

Me too. Almost 90 days.

Still have ups and downs, but I am determined and very protective of my sobriety.

My bottom was a fifth in about 6 hours and a vertigo a attk.

Glad to see you!

Just remember that even if you have a sober day worse than a drunk day... it doesn't matter

Honestly ... my best day (in my life)... I had had one or two drinks. But the important thing is that if I drink I get a whole bunch of bad days.

My worst day, I was over 2 years sober, but drinking would not have helped and would have made it worse.

When people say "bad sober day" does this mean life's ups and downs which pull you into having a drink?

Or just general craving for a drink because its been so long?

Probably both I guess.
