48
 

Today I am 48 DAYS sober.

I am 53 years old. Ever since I was in my mid-20's I have had a hard time even going 48 HOURS without drinking.

To anyone struggling with getting sober - if you want it bad enough it can be done. It isn't easy in the beginning; but it gets better everyday.

I am getting help from a doctor, and the first 3 to 4 weeks of sobriety were a roller coaster of emotions and physical changes but I am beginning to feel human again.

I spent half of my life walking around either drunk, hungover, sick, or in a daze. My body was mentally and physically spent from over 27 years of alcohol abuse.

I feel that this is my last chance to get healthy if I want to live a normal life.

Good luck to all.

Hooray, you!

Seven weeks tomorrow!

awesome!
 

48 days is awesome! I'm 23 and counting. I remember every day how great it is to no longer be a slave to my addiction and I hope you do also!

I'm still new here but I've already found so much great support, wisdom, and understanding from everyone here. I'm so thankful I found SR!

I pray for your next 48 days and so far beyond!

Congratulations all of you all 3 posts just made my day

Doug,

Great job on 48 days.

I am 52 years old. I quit about 19 months ago.

The body starts to have a hard time processing booze after a while...imo.

If you are anything like me, it is going to take a long time really pull out of the hole.

During that time, relapse will be ever calling.

The first several months were the toughest.

Now, I have too many clean months to waste it on a drunken stupor.

Drinking doesn't make sense to me anymore.

Thanks.

Thank you for the inspiration, Doug! Keep feeling human:)

48 is good, keep going one day at a time!

Congrats on 48 days Doug, great accomplishment!

Congrats on 48 days!!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Thanks you to all for all your kind words.




Yes, I believe this. Alcohol turned from a fun thing to do that relieved stress and anxiety to a poison that ruined my body and mind.

Drinking certainly doesn't make sense to me anymore.
