Good to hear you are sober and things are going well. :)

Week2
 

Recovery is going great, no thoughts of the bottle or anything crazy. It feels so good to be sober, I can't believe how crazy and ignorant I was before. Thanks so much for all your guys support. I never plan on leaving this forum, it is key to my sobriety!

Great going CT :)

Thanks for the support everyone. The marriage is having the roller coaster effects right now, the wife and I are both having highs and lows. We are holding on tight and looking forward to the future. Thanks to everyone for the continued support. This forum is crucial to my recovery! God is good! Happy to be sober!

Sober
 

I'm sober! I'm happy! Life is great sober!

Great to see such a positive attitude! Keep it going 'cause you sound strong! It "rubs off" on us all. Good goin' charlesturner! ♡CR

Thanks!
 

Thanks Chloe, I'm approaching this as a battle for my life everyday. One slip up and my life is over, or so I tell myself to keep me going. I am driven to not let a bottle destroy my life. I am going to win this battle! I have to, got to stay strong and win my war! It's 4th and long and I'm going for it. The outcome is dependent upon me! It's going to be a TOUCHDOWN!!!

Today
 

Today was alright, mood is down as I'm just frustrated with marriage issues. Hate feeling ignored and unwanted. Tonight, I have sobriety and God, the rest will work out! Being sober rules!

2 weeks today!!!!
 

Today has made a complete 180, from last night. Good spirits for my wife and I both. It's this roller coaster we are both on, but I know it is only temporary. Sobriety is going great!!! It's been 14 days since I took a drink! I can't wait until 140, 1400, 14,000!!!! I'm going to make it, we all can!!!!

Thanks for the update Charles. It is very helpful to see you document your good days and bad, and keeping your sobriety sacred regardless.

3/4/16
 

Today was a great day, work flew by. Came home and spent time with the kids. 3rd weekend sober and I have this weekend planned out. Being SOBER, rules!!!!

Day 16
 

My 3rd weekend and 16th day. Took the kiddos to see "Zootopia" with the grand father today. (Great movie by the way) we then went to Gatti town and the kids had a blast. Settled down at the house now. Today has been a great day. My mood has been great and seeing the kids so happy makes being sober even more awesome! I've had a lot of highs and lows over the last 16 days, but I'm fighting hard and I'm committed to recovery! I hope everyone stays strong this weekend! It's well worth it.

Much love to sober recovery!!!

Good for you CT :)

Good for you Charles! Coincidentally, I believe today is day 16 for me also :)

Glad to hear you sounding so good, CT. :) 16 days is wonderful, and things will keep getting better.

Everything comes crashing down
 

Well, today was a horrible day. My wife tells me she is miserable with me being home and asked me to leave. In honesty, with all that has happened, I was forcing the marriage as much as she was. My faith does not agree with divorce, but I have done all I can do. Even with everything that has went on, I know that sobriety has to remain & I have to keep God first. It's really hard today, I could easily make my way about an hour from here and drink, but I know that if I did, it would only make the problems I am facing worse. My God is great, my sobriety is my livelihood and I will keep my head up. It can only get better.

Much love to you all!

No good news with the wife. But I am sober, back in the gym and going on with life. I'm just happy to now see what I never seen so clearly. Alcohol has ruined so much for me, but I have many years ahead to be the man I should have been long ago. I'm positive about the future and I know that it will be great!

Much love!

That's a great attitude Charles. Good things await you in sobriety.

20 days
 

20 days sober and strong! Back in the gym, work is going awesome! Keeping a positive attitude and my sobriety first!

Much love to all
