I want to put the clock...counting the dates...but it won't work.

my new sobriety date is Feb. 27, 2009. One Day At A Time! That's how it did it.
39 days, 16 hours, 59 minutes, 52 seconds since I gave up the booze.</B></U></I>

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...

I was sober/dry for 8 years...yes some really good sobriety...got married in sobriety and divorce...my world fell apart. I tried to reach out and all I got was directed to pdoc and T. No one helped me with the steps...so I'm trying to reconnect but it's still hard. I'm counting days and I don't want to drink again out of loneliness.

So I'm trying my best...and that's the best I can do. I'm reaching out to others...it kept me sober before...helping someone else helps me...and I'm not alone. I just have to extra careful that I don't let them get me drunk. I tried once and I failed there cause I was having resentment and the drunk told me lies and I believed them. So I stay away from ppl who want me to drink with them. They'll get me drunk before I can get them sober. I learned that lesson and I'm aware of it.

So that's imho...lol I like that saying IMHO...in my honest opinion.
Thanks for this!

As you probably know, resentments will kill us alcoholics, that is one thing I have learned.
What time did you get up this morning??? wether it is 40+days or 40+ years, we are all the same, one day at a time.
There is this woman I know in AA who always says that there is no greater love than the love of an alcoholic for another alcoholic, I beleive her!
I have also found from this site (very new at this) that there is a lot of love out there from people who suffer like me from depression and other related issues, I found here a lot of understanding and compassion which I am trying to give back which is kind of hard since I feel everyone here is so much better than me as far as having the right words.
Congratulations again
Thanks for this!

No one here is any better than anyone else...we all started someplace and had the same shaky feelings of being different or not as well spoken or whatever...
In truth, almost everyone here is still here for one day at a time...it works for alcoholics and it works for depression or any number of conditions.
I've used it myself whenever I'm on a pity pot because of my disabilities...the old, "If I thought I had to do this the rest of my life, I couldn't do it. But I can handle it for one more day."

Welcome...
Please keep posting and let us know how you are, ok?
