Milestone

Today is 118 days off the booze/pot. Last time, I drank on day 118. Tomorrow will mark the longest that I’ve gone without a drink since my first drink. When I drank on day 118 last time, I was doing it on my own with my own willpower. This time I’m posting on SR, working a program in AA, and seeing a counselor. If I were to say “F it, I can have a couple drinks” I’d have to face a lot of disappointed people. I may drink again but it won’t be today. See y’all on day 119 tomorrow. Thank you for the support!

Look at you! Congrats! Take it home to 119 and then some more.
It sounds like you are gaining tools, have support and working this to the best of your ability. It is working!
Proud of you for sure!

Congrats! I first replapsed around the same amount of sobriety and now I'm hoping to get there again. This inspires me to keep going!

Is it tomorrow yet, FishingDude? Congratulations.

Doing it on willpower alone never worked for me either. Great you have picked up support, it really does help.

I think it would be you, rather than others who would be disappointed if you picked up. At least that's how it panned out for me.

Keep going gently, it gets a whole lot better.

Congrats FishingDude
I may drink again but it won’t be today.
I wouldn't even leave the door open that much - you can live happily, and soberly, for good

I hope in time you'll find like I did that you're already doing forever - nothing to be afraid of
