One Week Sober Today

[Jade-]

Just patting myself on the back today. I have been sober for a whole week now. :clap:

I was really getting out of control with my drinking and started doing it pretty much on a daily basis(again). I thought I could control the amount I was consuming, I tried having one or two drinks at a time, but that didn't work. I tried using a tall glass with a straw instead of drinking straight from the bottle. I tried locking the alcohol up from myself. I tried having others control the amount I had. It didn't work. I can't stop once I have that first drink. So I just stopped completely.

I'm hoping I can pat myself on the back each week. And now that I've put it in writing on here, maybe that will keep me motivated.

Thanks everyone. I didn't start this thread so everyone else would pat me on the back though. I started it because sometimes putting things in writing makes a huge difference.

I'm hoping by writing this, and seeing it and being reminded, I will stay sober.

I think that is so wonderful. Hang in there. I am struggling with the same issues right now after going without drinking for years so I know how hard that road can be. That is just GREAT!!
