Hey Rich, Sounds like you've got a handle on it. Experience is a teacher. It was easier to reach this point again probably because you feel you've been down this road before. But don't get too far ahead of yourself. Sure, you'll see the 30th, 60th, 90th, etc. days sober, but that's for then.. Now is for looking forward to your 12th day. It may seem a familiar path to you, but this time think of it as a "Rebirth" of sorts: the New Rich, on a highway that moves ever forward, but is devoid of Off Ramps. If and/or when you feel you need "roadside assistance", come on DS (its global community means someone's here 24/7). Or, call your local crisis-line or AA, to receive their encouragement to continue this Challenge.

Rich, I was a binge drinker so I got those long spurts of sobriety before the next bender....but appears you are daily drinker...that is much harder on the body than mine was I believe but neither alcoholic patterns are good for our bodies....

Keep it plug in the jug and you go one day at a time and do not ruin your future by future fucking yourself with big ideas or failure thoughts.....hugs bill

Awesome! Free yourself!!!! Alcohol gives us no pleasure or support. Day 11? You should be feeling pretty good physically right now, I believe. What things have you been doing instead of drinking? Excellent. Feels so good! Hugs

Very happy for you Rich and proud of your resilience! I would kindly offer that you enjoy each minute, hour and day, mindful of your sobriety and new life, and not get too caught up in the count yet. They will add up on their own, but the walk in your new life is unfolding right now. Enjoy it my friend!

Your doing great!!! Cheers to day 14 and then 30!

Excellent brother -- one day at a time my friend. As I have learned a lot in the past 4 1/2 months without a drink, time takes time and some feelings that I had on day 12 about sobriety are different than feelings that I have today. What I have learned in meeting rooms the past few months is that our disease is an indiscriminate assassin. We here on DS are a Band of Brothers and Sisters to keep watch and try to keep everyone in the pack. Your friend in the journey, PG

im so proud of you:) I think about you often so im glad you posted:) good job and im rooting for you!

You can and will if you tell yourself.you can. Keep going. Booze is not appealing once you get enough time to realize how unessary it is. Be aware that there will be times when you want to go back but if you can just not act on the urge they will pass.

Cmon!

Right on! Good for you! You can do it!

Lasting sobriety is possible. I recently celebrated two years sober from alcohol. It's amazing the new clarity and productivity that having some time gives one.

Here's hoping you make it too.

Rich,

Haven't seen you in the last 3 days. Hope you check in and tell us you are okay.
