    65 days now uitar.welldone. one day at a time!ya it was unitar.doing pushups waiting for you.it's very patient.Cunning!,Baffling! an Powerful! it waits for us all everyday.cos it wants us dead,anyway it can get us.i had my first drink when i was 8years old.i had my last one when i was 32.i like you to,found meetings just in time,before it was to late.20years was a long time white knuckling it. i tried that to many times,but i always drank again. but meetings worked for me. their still working.an also have you ever noticed,theres a lot bigger smile on the faces of alcoholics who get meetings than those that dont.much happier people.65days is a very long time one day at a time!thats a great acheivement unitar.your a winner! keep winning!you may get times when you find a day to hard.to long to cope with.i remember for the the few months i was sober how really extra hard that was..i remember people saying.its only a day at a time,an thinking do ye not realise that thats 24hrs.without a drink. ha! ha! i know how hard that is.when your just stopping and that constant craving 24/7 that you think is never going to leave you.but it gets better unitar.sometimes when the goin gets tough, you just got ta hang in there,until you can hold on again!so on those days i just did it an hour,a minute an 1second at a time.it works!there is no cure for our disease.we can only arrest it on a daily basis,by not picking up that first drink.no matter what!i got a simple message 17yrs ago.keep comin' back,keep getting your meetings an keep it simple! no its not for the faint hearted.it takes courage.acceptance of all the things we cannot change.the courage ta change the things we can.and the wisdom ta know the difference!the real hard men an women are'nt the old us sitting in a pub taking shit an slowly killing ourselves.the real hard men an women are the ones staying sober a day at a time.no matter what!our Primory purpose is to stay sober.and help other alcoholics to acheive sobriety.an if we all stopped going ta meeting,who'd be there unitar ta help the newcomer coming through the door?cos if it was'nt for the people were already there when we arrived,who would have been there ta greet us? an help show us how its done!.its an amazing journey unitar,with all its ups an downs a long the way.it dose'nt really matter how long we're sober when it comes to drinking,cos whether we're one day or 10years it's still only" one shot and we're all shot!"but by sticking around one day at a time.the longer you are sober,the more your learning and all the other ways on how to cope with everything as it comes up with that bit of expereince of time an learning behind you.my name is roamy.i'm an an Alcoholic to.an like i always say to a new comer, the minute they come through the door.welcome home to unitar.i am so glad you found us.hava a good happy and sober day.keep comin' back to us and keep it simple!thats my goal to. to die sober,but first unitar we must live sober.all the best ta you on the long road back.you are not alone! none of us are........keep winning!

    Makes me think of the words from a couple of country songs.

    You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me.... Alcohol.

    and

    Maybe I'll remember my next 30 years. [​IMG]

    the family took me out for my birthday last week, one of those dinner theatres. The guy who served us was doing a Hunter S. Thompson thing.

    Reminded us of the scene in Fear and Loathing, Depp wakes up in the hotel room wearing the dinosaur tail. Damn, it then hit me, I did that, 3 or 4 inches of water, food floating everywhere. Can't remember any of it. But no tail.

    Wow sounds like you had 17 pretty crazy years!! I only had a few! Hopefully its going OK for you. At least you get to live in Alberta, I love Canada. I often thought about emigrating there, I guess I'm too old now.

    I'm a slow learner , but I do learn.

    It is one day at a time. and I've been lucky to have strung 193 days together.

    and I gotta remember I'm only one drink, pill or toke away from a runaway.
