    It can be done!

    Today is day 91 AF for me, what a AWESOME feeling, never ever thought I would get here. It took a lot of willpower and most of all Prayer. For those of you who can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is there, don't give up. For myself I had to finally come to the realization I can never drink again, not even one. Time and time before I always had it stuck in the back of my head I could moderate, it was not until I figured it out, that I will never be able to, that I have been able to quit. I'm not saying it has been all easy, because it hasn't, there has been temptaions, mostly when others are drinking around me and I'm the only one who isn't, but I will tell you what, seeing all them get drunk and act stupid and knowing they most likely will wake up sick and waste their whole next day makes it all worth being the only sober one. Again don't ever give up, your day will come!!

    Hey Sox,
    CONGRATLATIONS! That is indeed awesome. I think it is a stage most of us go through, thinking we can mod and then most of us have to accept we can't. And in a way it's a relief knowing you don't have to do any of the 'work' involved in modding and trying to control it all the time.:goodjob: K x

      I am soooooo proud of you! I just hit 50 daysAF, and every word you said is very true. There are good days, and days that are more challenging! But through it all we made a commitment to stay sober and that is all that matters!
      Enjoy your Journey!

              Twosox, congratulations!! :goodjob:
              it's great to hear from people who are ahead, I find it gives me a goal - I want to know what 91 days feels like!! I am on 54 days here, although I'm not keeping as close an eye on the number of days as I did for the first few weeks. It's a great feeling to see those numbers adding up!

                  That's Great inspiration.Thanks and Congratulations. Did a road race today and have sore muscles I didn't know I had but by far the biggest muscle flex I'm proud of is going out to dinner to celebrate and having soft drinks only. Like crossing another finish line all in itself. AF for 15 days and another weekend behind me.

                    Congrats on 91 days!! :yougo::yougo::yougo:

                    For a long time, I too had a little part of me in the back of my head thinking that someday I could drink safely again. That was a huge barrier to getting sober. When I finally accepted that I can't drink safely, ever, the real AF journey could begin. You are on your way and I am happy for you!!!!! Enjoy your new life.
