    Giving myself a pat on the back

    I hope you dont mind, but I am now 50 DAYS WITHOUT ALCOHOL


    Sometimes it has been difficult, but soooo worth sticking it out.
    I dont want to appear smug, but for the first time ever in my life, I think I can live my life, happily without alcohol.
    There are still cravings, and there have been a few times when I thought "what the hell, a few pints wont hurt". But they will, I CANT MODERATE, but I am much happier not drinking, and I am making my family happier. I have more time for them.

    Much thanks to everyone here, this site has been my biggest help.

    :thanks:

    Damo,
    A bit of back patting never did any one any harm and after 50 days you certainly deserve it.:goodjob:
    It could be worse, I could be filing.

      Damo I feel it's important that you give yourself credit for every day that you are sober and making a difference in the lives of your familly.

      I know personally I've have had many days over the past few years where I've been completely self centred, angry, confused, tired, pissed off, frightened etc. But I've got through the day without wanting to drink. I guess when I realised that I'm not perfect and that I'm just a human being, it becomes easier to accept my imperfections through being grateful for what I have achieved during the day. I've had a tendency to focus purely on the negative aspects of my day rather than the positive.

      Just be careful that complacency doesn't creep in. I've had many occasions in the past where this has been the case and I've ended up thinking I can go and drink like normal people again. I couldn't see it coming half the time as my reality was becoming blurred by it. I need people to point the obvious out to me sometimes as I can't see it myself.

      Many Blessings and keep giving yourself the credit you deserve.

          Hi Damo, nice work. You should really be proud of your 50 days. I am sure that your family are so happy. I am right there with you - I know I can't moderate, and I love my life sober. Take care, and keep up the great work.
