Congratulations on your 39+1 days, one day at a time that is the way to go!

I am an alcoholic myself and I have been sober for almost 15 years, well maybe I should write dry for 15 years with a few periods of good sobriety mixed in there.
I just want to tell you that my worst days sober are better than my best days drunk although hard to admit these days, but no matter how hard life can get sometimes I know that if I were to take that first drink, it would just make matters so much worse.

Keep it up and Keep It Simple, it works...
