DontRemember

For 37 days now.. Work is better(busier than ever!) with a clear head,actually everything is better. Finally have my sleep pattern back to beyond normal(sleep from 10pm-5/6am).. It's nice to not have the shakes or cravings anymore. Going to a super bowl party tomorrow that's going to be my first real 'test' since crashing my truck and ending up in jail.. I WILL not drink at this party! I feel that if I do,I will die from booze and that's simply not going to happen to me!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their new year!

Ironically this song,I've never heard, was playing in the background while I typed that.. Had to go back and listen again.. It's me to a T when I drank.

Great job on 37 days DontRemember

Congrats on 37 days DR do you feel ready for a Superbowl party ? if you feel like its going to be a test I wouldn't go not to rain on your parade just looking out for a comrade

DontRemember

I do. I've decided I can never drink with control. I am a problem drinker. The approach/plan I'm using is like a bad relationship with a woman. If she's proved time and time again not good for me,why try again? If I feel an urge, I'll leave and go home. I've been to bars for work meetings and to hangout with friends since I stopped. It's actually an eye opener for me of what a jackass I was while drinking while people watching.

I'm a little behind you with only 21 days but I feel the same way about a superbowl party tomorrow. My wife was worried that I'd want to drink but I just feel too good now for the first time in a long time to mess it up tomorrow. Great job and go Broncos!

I would not have been ready but both you guys seem determined.
Hope you guys have a good sober time

I hear you on the 'feel too good to mess it up'. My house is now spotless, I'm taking care of myself(working out,golfing,getting facials and manicures),with the money I use to toss at the bottle or a night of binge gambling while drunk..In the past month I've saved enough to replace my wrecked truck,paid off my lawyer and started saving for my fines that will come at some point.. I see no reason to go back into 'zombie mode'.

I'm also a HUGE Broncos fan! I will be betting that tomorrow! lol

You guys be careful tomorrow and have an escape plan in case it gets rough.

hi Dontremember, I posted earlier that this will be my 3rd superbowl sober, but my first not being hungover from Saturday. For what its worth, its worth it. When Monday rolls around and everyone is feeling horrible, you'll be ready for "life".
