Day 55 AF and I feel great. In the beginning I was scared and wasn't 100% sure if I could make this quit stick but I knew that I was 100% committed to this quit and that I wanted to quit. I knew that the first few days would be easy, but the weekends would be tough. The first week or two, I had a cold so I was fighting a cold (a summer cold no less) but I made it though. I know that most wouldn't go out so early in the quit, but I wanted to learn that I can go out and not drink and I didn't want to not do karaoke for a month or two. But on the same side if I didn't have the friends in real life that knew that I quit and has helped me in both paying for my pop and encouraging me to not drink, I wouldn't of gone out. But I made sure that I had a support group in real life and that made it easier. And I achieved my goal. I can now go to karaoke shows (any Karaoke show) and not drink and not even feel the need to drink. Sure I had my tough days (both on weekends and during the week) but I have made it through AF. Now I feel stronger and better and I will not drink today and will worry about tomorrow when it gets here.

I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.
Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.
Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow. -
Day 55
Wow DriftyAlison
So glad you are doing well, and yes you can do the things you did before without alcohol - that's if you still want to of course.
Me I am tone deaf to my own voice, and am not allowed to take part in Karaoke! -
