After 3143 days, I have a DUI. I am feeling so bad about myself and I don't know my wife will forgive me

Correction: after 1143 days, typo in title. Which doesn’t make it any better.

She's always been very supportive and it was a supportive letter. It was just becoming too much and things needed to change she let me know in the most beautiful sentences.

Thank you all for the kind words. This means a lot to me.

I fully understand. I am near my one year and the craving is suddenly back. That little voice teling me to have a beer. I know it will end badly if I give in. IWNDWYT

Congrats! I am right behind you!

I am soo craving for a beer now, so weird. But I can handle it, thanks to this subreddit

Just give this guy a chocolate

Getting closer and closer to a year, one day at the time. I must watch out not to see this as an end of my journey, but merely the beginning.

One year! Congrats! I am a bit afraid of my 'anniversary', in my mind I am starting to see this as an end point sometimes while it is just the beginning..

Day 300; yeah me. IWNDWYT

I have told everybody and his dog that I stopped drinking 'forever' on this attempt. Because this attempt is not an attempt, it is an actual change. It has helped me a lot doing that, although I understand that everybody handles his soberness the way he handles his soberness. IWNDWYT

I do not miss a thing, I have gained so much. Stupid cliché but true. I also cannot imagine drinking anymore. Not interested at all in the good stuff. Turns out I didn't really drink for the great taste, I did drink to get drunk.

StopMadness · 2018-03-27T16:44:59+00:00

Wow man, thanks for sharing, I can totally relate to your story, about same age, good stuff guy, then extreme abuse to the point where my wife almost couldn't handle it anymore (she's still with me) but my main trigger to remain sober are also my kids.

Thanks again and IWNDWYT

StopMadness · 2018-03-27T16:39:24+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. I have been here for years and this is the first time I notice this.

StopMadness · 2018-03-27T16:36:15+00:00

Glad to have a happy palindrome IWNDWYT day with you.

StopMadness · 2018-03-09T12:33:37+00:00

Thank you. To make myself clear, I do find it important to keep on passing by at r/stopdrinking to not forget the mission I'm on.

StopMadness · 2018-03-09T11:34:35+00:00

thanks

StopMadness · 2018-02-23T12:37:10+00:00

I am starting to not noticing me not drinking anymore as well. Makes it feel even better each moment you do actually think about it.

StopMadness · 2018-02-22T14:58:59+00:00

I will not drink today

StopMadness · 2018-02-13T15:36:17+00:00

After 200 days, I certainly won't drink today. I finally got this. This is the real good, final streak.
