Sober for 30 days and counting

Congratulations roverroad! And I wish you well for your future sobriety also.

Congratulations & hang in there!

Roverroad, keep up the good work!

Yep. I quit about six or seven years ago. It was the hardest addiction I've had to shake. Even quitting smoking was easier.

Friends of Bill Wilson, enter here.

Congrats :-D

a little over 12 years for me. The hard times were from 60 days on when I forgot about the bad hangovers and just remembered thhe taste. ive since made a mental image of the big time sick headaches to remind me why I had to get sober. Did you have an easy or difficult withdrawal?

Pile up the days into months and the months into years.
Enjoy your new life and celebrate the longer days youve given yourself
You arent powerless, its your call to be sober and yours to remain so.
It helps to share you experiences in sobriety so you can tweak your own recovery.
Youll make entirely new friends, unless the old ones get sober, you best leave them behind
remember the really bad times with your habit and let these remind you why you want to be sober

Good for you, after the 6month hump, it gets easier and easier by small degrees

Roverroad--

Wonderful--and in the dark of winter, too. Hold your dominion.

Really good advice this. I also had to leave the people behind. Get to some meetings, you'll find lots of people with similar experience and good advice. Some parts of the program you may have difficulty dealing with, depending on your beliefs, but you're guaranteed to find things to help.

I've quit. Keep it up! It will get easier as time goes by, you'll think about it less and less.

Congratulations, go on! (Quit drinking more than 20 years ago.)
