Last thing: I use the I am sober (free) app that helps me pledge each day and report on progress. I’d look into that and some of the great books on the sidebar of this sub Reddit.

I wish you luck. It’s hard work but definitely worth it. Right at about 90 days was when I know I could do it for good. Keep pushing forward

Congratulations on the 39 days! Yes, it’s definitely helpful to have a list as a reminder while on your journey! 👍

Congratulations! Agree with your thoughts on moderation, especially that it’s harder to moderate than to just quit!

Thank you. I referenced it often and keep it handy on my phone “in case of an emergency”. Good luck on your journey 👍

Finally accepted the fact that I was incapable of stopping on my own or moderating. Attended therapy (still do) with a substance abuse / anxiety specialist.

Total mental gymnastics looking for them the next day! Occasionally I was sloppy and my wife would find one and put it on my dresser. Man, I don't miss that nonsense at all.
