Pat on the back...
 
Tomorrow will be 8 weeks for me. I am still thrilled with my sobriety. I've been reading an AA book. Keeping my mind busy. I attended a AA meeting online. Not to say that AA is the only way but I believe it can't hurt! LOL

Congratulations
Way to go.

AA may not be the only way but it is a way that works for many.

Congratulations!
AA sure did not hurt me, in fact it helped me to get some sober days under my belt and helps me stay that way... one day at a time.
And being drunk did not "help me" at all.

No doubt! So far, SR and the people here have helped me more than anything ever could have. The support here is just awesome! AA will help me also. I think everything will help but you have to be ready for it.

8 Weeks is FANTASTIC!!!
The first day I came to this site I loved your quote, I put it on my desktop as a reminder, it really had meaning for me.

One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time. ~Lady Astor

ASH 11-10-2005 05:42 PM

Oh, yea, I get it with the blackouts, sad to say....

But then there was also the thinking one was having a good time when NOT:hypnotize

Oh yea, and then the added burden of making sure everyone else was
not having a good time :blah

Getting sober seemed like such work, but geez, piece of cake compared to the drunken nightmare

Way to go on the 8 weeks, your doing GREAT!!!!
