Coming up to 60 days sober!

Been looking back at the day with fond memories, the sex , drugs and Rock n roll-late 60's early 70's.

Had my first drink at 15, first acid trip, smoked my first piece of hash around the same time.

That became a run away freight train for 17 years

Managed to white knuckle it for 20 years then started drinking again 5 years ago.

Apparantly my alcoholism was doing push ups waiting for me

Finally gave up the fight, started going to meetings and will hit 60 days on tuesday

I've started looking back at the day, f---, can't even remember half of it

6 months on acid, 6 years high, 17 years drunk-man those were the days

I have a new goal-die an alcoholic, not die from alcoholism

peace

 

Congratulations! That is no small feat!

 

Congratulations to you. I hope nothing but the best to you. It is a hard battle to fight just take it one day at a time and hang in there. We're here to support your efforts.

 

Good for you and here is to day 61!

Difficult addiction to control but you are, that is what matters.

 

Congratulations! That is no small achievment. :2thumbsup:

 

60 days is a long time congrats

 

Totally awesome. Mad props to you :2thumbsup:

 

What sobered me up and keeps me sober is the memory of a bright, gifted man who died an empty husk. Memories gone, opportunities missed, fun and adventure passed by for a tavern full of like souls talking bullshit about the good old days they couldn't even remember.

I wish I knew who you were Dad. You taught me something though, I control my destiny not a lieing bottle of toxin, or a manufactured buzz.

Day by day till it's who you are and you come to love who that is. I'd wish you good luck but it ain't about luck...enjoy the trip of finding you.

 

Congrats dude! Good for you
May the days keep comin'!

 

Very well done. Stay strong.

 

Thanks folks.

It's been a learning experience.

A moment of silence for those that are still suffering

Peace

 

Had the week off and managed 6 meetings this week-nothing else to do, once the chores were done-72 days

thanks for the support

have yourselves a safe and peaceful holiday season

 

Well done! You are amazingly strong....it's a difficult time of year to stay sober, there seems to be alcohol everywhere over the holidays. Stay focussed and love yourself enough to keep going. Will be thinking of you.

Love and Peace

 

It's a new year a new dawn LOL
