I haven't been around in a while. To be honest, the key to my sobriety is AA, however, joining this site was certainly one of the steps I had to take to admit that I am powerless over alcohol. For that, I am grateful.
So, it's with great pride that I am about to hit 10 months of sobriety in about a week (to be honest I don't count the days anymore). I've had my ups and downs. It's still difficult to avoid drinking in social situations -- especially at parties and on the weekends. However, the urge to drink on a weeknight is totally GONE - which is amazng because I used to drink a pint of vodka and a few beers every night of the week.
So, I look at my next step/hurdle as trying to get over/become more relaxed when the drinks start flying around me in restaurants, and other social situations. I am determined to jump this hurdle and know I can do it.
I'd love to here some advice from some others with longterm sobriety about their thoughts/feelings around the ten month mark.
As for advice to any newcomers, my suggestion is simple: try AA and Campral. It's a powerful combination and it works wonders for me.
God Bless,
Andy
