60 Days
Sober is becomming the new normal. Its a much more pleasant normal than than drinking/withdrawing. I have done many things sober I never did before without drinking. I went on a while vacation without a drop and it was amazing!
I find myself avoiding events and gahltherings that include alcohol and have little contact with my best friends anymore.
Its all going to be ok though. The only thing that is certain in life is change. Death is the final change and its not a stellar one so we have to make the others as positive as possible and avoid the negative at all cost.

Congrats on 60 days - we need to move on and away from the old drinking friends if we are going to succeed - to be honest even close friends have drifted as really it was the drinking and drugs that kept us close - I too realised this had to happen and whilst not easy I knew it was crucial - it's taken time but now also making new sober friends - life really doesn't revolve around drinking like I used to think.
Keep going and making a new sober life it really does get even better.

60 days is not just good, it's great. If you are at 60 days you should be feeling better and getting past the cravings that come at first. You are doing some very healthy things. Staying away from where alcohol is served, staying away from your old drinking friends - all these are good things. Stay with it. The danger you face now is when you get to the point where you think you have things under control and can drink moderately again. If you are like most of us, that's when a relapse will happen. Keep on doing what you're doing.

Thanks guys. My wife and our future is #1 and the #1 reason I have made this decision but I am not certain if I could have done it without this site.
Thanks for sticking with me even when I wouldnt listen.

From finding this site I knew it was not only possible but also necessity - moderation as mentioned was distinctly dismissed as not possible - there has been times that the AV has whispered or even shouted about it and times where I've felt desperate to return despite knowing the obvious pitfalls however I knew and know that no matter what that is an action / option that only I can choose no one will ever force me - I made my choice and I choose to live this new and better way of life no matter what - there will be ups and downs but the downs do pass if we don't act on them - stick to your plan and keep that determined focus no matter what, I have every faith that you will succeed - somebody on here told me very similar around the 2 month mark and I hold that dear.
Keep going you've got this for you and your wife and a much happier future. Those people that have stuck around us deserve us being true to our word and putting things right.
