118 days and struggling
 
New to this forum. Actually that’s a lie. I was on and off this forum years ago - tried to get sober, but as many of you understand... I didn’t really want to. I had and still have many ‘yets’ (Yet to lose my licence, yet to be in prison, yet to...) actually not many yets to go. I was waiting to hit rock bottom as I thought that would make me sober, but I was already at rock bottom...

Welcome back Juice67. Congrats on 118 days sober, that's quite an accomplishment. What are you struggling with? There's plenty of support and help to be had here, glad you decided to join us again.

yeah, waiting for something to 'make' us sober.....doesn't seem to work out too well.
welcome to posting again and way to go on all those days!

hey Juice..

that's sometimes what keeps me using.. saying, ah well, i'm only 25, there's plenty of time to quit.. things aren't that bad.. my body can handle another 10 beers tonight no problem.

but the truth is i just can't function like a normal person if i'm using and drinking. it sucks to admit and being sober for the rest of my life is scary.

i am sticking to "one day at a time" now more than ever. it has felt like different kinds of rock bottoms for years now.

I found if I were to go any lower how much harder it would have been to dig myself out. I am glad I made it out when I did.
Congrats to 118 days, keep it going!!! It is so worth it, YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Blessings,
DC

Congrats on so many days!
I m struggling too. With life. Life will always be a struggle whether or not we are drinking. But drinking makes everything worse. Life, and all it’s ups and downs, is so much better sober. The happy times are happier. And the problems are more manageable.

Stay the course!

Congratulations on 118 days sober. I made it two times to around the 120 day mark and would slip. That was ten years ago, I’m still struggling. The blackouts got worse, got arrested again, made horrible decisions and now I’m back at day 7. I’m not sure what happens around that 120 day mark but I can relate. Just play it through... fast forward the tape... what benefit could ever come from drinking.... how much better off are you than 118 days ago? Remember the reasons you quit. I’d like to know advice around this time into the quit too. Stay strong.
