45 days sober??? Really??? Yessiree!!!!

Well I'm 45 days sober. My first 2 weeks were done a little "unconventionally". The other 31 days have been easy. I don't want to sound cocky, but when something happens to you and all the cards are laid on the table, well its an easy decision to make when you sit back, and prioritize your life. Seems that the Devil Liquid lost out. I'm not naive, I know I'll be tested eventually. I've already had a couple small arguments with my AV, and I won. I don't recommend sobering up and detoxing the way I did, its just the way it happened. And I'm on the recovery road. As well as being a better Husband, Father, and person.

No. Just will power and the desire to stay sober. That’s it.

Zombie I have noticed change. Weight is coming off, complexion is better. Among other changes is my blood pressure has been reduced significantly. Basically everything is better. I’m on day 54, and am still hanging in there
