This type of thread is on the eating disorders page dealing with bulimia and how many days it has been since you've purged. It has really helped me so I'm starting one for alcohol now. Today is day 1.

It is now day 1 for me. One day at a time from here on out. I no longer welcome this destructiveness in my life. I want recovery. I want out of the darkness.

Two months today! I'm so proud. My husband is so proud. My marriage has improved by leaps and bounds. I couldn't have done a better thing for my life and marriage (and for my son) than giving up alcohol!

I'm so proud of you!! In my experience, you have made it past the hardest part and days will come easier for you. Not to say recovery is a cakewalk, it isn't. Build up the strong spiritual foundation so you have that to fall back on in difficult times up ahead. I did not do this and went back to drinking during a challenging time throwing away a year and a half of sobriety. I remember those first couple months getting sober though. Not sure how long or how much you had been drinking, but for me it was long and a lot, and getting sober changed my life drastically. I'm on day four today. Going to get my year and a half back and then some! God's will not our own, and God wants what is good for us. Glad to hear your marriage and relationship with your son have improved so much. Keep working and the rewards just keep on coming! The road up ahead is full of love and of light.

Three months today! It's been a fantastic journey. I hope to give hope and light to others struggling with alcohol addiction. I'm truly a better person for getting sober.
