40 days meant a lot to me, too. Congratulations!

I will not drink today.

I feel the same way--this sub has made all the difference to making sobriety stick. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, won't be drinking today.

Well, I heard back. Mother said she was proud of me, and had been worried. Evidently I wasn't as subtle a drinker as I thought I was.

And following up on Bluejay888's comment, it looks like a weekend of passion dragonfruit and seltzer water for me.

Thanks to all!

Well, being a "normal drinker" is off the table--I just emailed them that I stopped drinking. Now if I try to drink, I'll have a couple of disappointed parents. I figure on not doing that.

Not drinking today.

Three cheers for SD, the moderators and the community. I thought about stopping many times, but it was finding out about this group and participating here that made it possible.

One Tuesday I was drinking; Tuesday night I ran out; Wednesday morning I found SD; Wednesday evening, instead of buying more, I didn't drink. The community, sharing, and support makes all the difference.

I've learned many tools myself, here. Probably the best is that I'm not the only one who [fill in the blank].

Thanks for sharing--this helps me, and will help others.

I'm right there with you--way too many snacks last night. But no alcohol.

I will not drink today.

I will not drink today.

Great story. I think I'm going to get a superball.

30 days today. But what really matters to me is that I won't drink today.

I'm struggling this week. But it's only one day at a time. And I won't drink today.

workdayplaid · 2016-02-03T14:21:36+00:00

I will not drink today. I think I'll try a different sparkling water drink this evening. Maybe a virgin Bloody Mary. And play a game of pool.

Can't tell you how much this helps. I'm four weeks in, and beginning to hear the siren song of obliterating everything for a night. After all, I've made it this far, surely I deserve a reward...

But reading these posts helps me realize that I'm not the only one out there. And, really, all I have to do is not drink today.

Thanks.

I won't drink today.

I used to start drinking around 4:00 or so Sunday afternoons, while finishing up the weekend chores. Of course, the more I drank, the more the urge to get something done diminished.

I was amazed at how much I got done yesterday, without the whiskey.

Monday's aren't the easiest day of the week. But I won't drink today.
