stop drinking (read all 8 entries…)
2 months sober (1 day early) 16 months ago

Today marks 62 days sober, 2 months without a drop. I’m being optimistic and posting a day early, but I’m sure I’ll make it through tonight. I’ve had lots of ups and downs, but I’ve managed to control my urges to grab the bottle. My advice, so far, is to reward yourself for your small victories. I bought myself a nice, new camera and some wood working tools with what would’ve been my drinking money for 2 months. Instead of heading to the bars on the weekend, I’m going to work on photography and start building bird houses. Here is to another 2 months!

hoorays!

Glad to hear you are doing well!

Its eyeopening how much more there is to life than bars. Possibilites open up, and the world around seems richer through clear eyes.

Thanks for updating – you are an inspiration :)

Great News...

and you are right you should reward yourself a little. I am not up to 2 months yet but maybe I’ll ride my bike up to DQ and get a Blizzard.

Keep it up and the days turn to weeks and weeks turn to….. ah you get the point.

Take Care
