Becoming Sober (Page 21)

Ahhh... great minds think alike.

 Thanks, but I just snorted a load of model airplane glue and I don't like to mix the two

Oh come on... everyone knows they mix well....

Oh, so I'm the only one?

I realize it's boring, but actually all I ever say is "no thanks". I have never been in a situation where that was insufficient.

Although, a group of us went out for dinner to celebrate a anniversary. We were at a mexican restaurant and the waiter heard it was a birthday... so he brought out a free shot of tequila for the birthday girl. It was funny.

It always amazed me how much free stuff was shoved in your face after you quit. Where was all that stuff before?

It was there, you just don't remember it. 

For the first 5 times I read that I failed to see the "t"... I wasn't sure how to respond.

mdg2003 - 2012-08-28 9:04 PM  That's great Erica! I remember that 30 day chip like it was yesterday. It seemed for me to be like that first month was a year long! Keep it up. Just heard from my cousin who has 120 days now.

These 20 days have been a real learning experience.  The first 10 or so were physically difficult and the last 10 have been mentally tough.  But each day I feel better and I am realizing how much of an impact my drinking had on everyone around me.  I have a lot of work to do but I am thankful for my sobriety and look forward to each day.

That's all I've got.  Thanks. 

Right on.  I heard something once.  A guy said, "I have 14 years of sobriety, and the longest i've ever had to go without a drink is 24 hours"....

Congrats on the 30 days! You ain't seen nothing, yet.... when you hear people say "It keeps getting better", believe it. It does just keep getting better... one day at a time

  Uhm, thanks. It occurred nearly 11 years ago.

I just got my 30 day chip on Sunday!

Things could not be better for me right now..

Congrats! Keep up the work 1 day at a time.

This is great!

Congrats, Tyler. 

15 years ago today. i gave it up. it changed my life. for new person or someone coming back if i could do it you can also. just don't drink today . one day at a time.... it's that simple

Congrtas on your 15 years. It truly is amazing the longer I'm sober the more it just becomes about 1 day at a time.

How are we all doing out there?

Still sober here!

Ready to get to 60 Days!

I can't imagine how you are feeling, but I'm fairly certain you'll feel far worse once you realized you've got to start all over again.
