Well guys thanks to my HP,sponsor,family,friends and you guys I have managed to stay sober for 4 weeks. It gives me a good feeling to know I've gone this far. I have overcome some bad days but I did not do it alone. Thank God for all of you. I am beginning to feel a bond with the people on this board because it's only you guys who can fully understand just what I've been going through and for that I thank you.My family is VERY supportive but ONLY those who've been in the depths of hell themselves can know how hard it is to give up drinking. I appreciate every post and every bit of advice that you guys have given me. It has helped me more than you will ever truly know. THANK YOU AGAIN. God bless and be safe
Congratulations. Get stepping!

Hi Pirate,
You are a miracle! Four weeks is awesome! Yes there are bad days as well as good days, remember to store the gratitude for the tough times. Sometimes as the alcohol induced fog lifts we can actually see the empty hole that we used to fill with booze, it can be intimidating at times. However, it can happen if we take it,
one day at a time, Cookster

Well done Pirate! It feels good to get that first milestone doesn't it. When sobriety becomes so precious that you want to hold onto it. I too am in the early stages of recovery but I am getting great support from so many people. I like sober me better so I am working hard at staying that way.
Keep up the good work. It's great watching your journey.

That's Wonderful!!!! Congratulations.
I know it was hard and now 30 days have passed.
I hope the next 30 will be easier ( one day at a time).
Give yourself and your higher power a hand!!!
Hang in there and God Bless!

Pirate - Way to go!! I get alot of encouragement reading your posts! Keep it up!
Today's Daily Reflections is worth considering, too. I gather inspiration from this blog--gives me something to be grateful for immediately--and then my "One Cool Thing" is ON! Good luck, keep coming back.
Congratulations on 4 wks. of continued sobriety Pirate,
It really is a miracle when were pulled back from the grips of alcohol. Alcohol is a killer and you pirate are a precious and dear soul and your purpose here on earth was not meant to be a waste.
You are coming along very nicely and your caring for others shows. I appreciate your posts and your qoutes, thankyou! Remember it's progress not perfection. I'm glad to see your beggining to have more good days then bad ones. Or perhaps your not dwelling in the bad ones. God allows u-turns. We can start are days over anytime we want. It's not easy but it's achievable, most of the time.
I remember when you first came on borad and wrote something about you asking your hubby are you sure I'm better,nicer sober. I chuckled as I asked mine the same thing more then once. I was so hoping he would say no dear your better person drunk. I wanted him to give me permission to drink. Even though deep inside I knew the truth. I really do relate to so many things you write about thankyou for being so open, willing and honest Pirate.
I to am in early recovery and the most important aspect for me is that I want it more then the drink. I tried to do it for my kids, my hubby, my mom and I failed. They are secondary motivators. It wasn't until I wanted it for me was it going to start sticking. I'm worth it and so are you Pirate.
I'm so very happy for you and your family. Keep learning and adding tools to your recovery tool box one day at a time. Because more miracles are coming the longer we stay sober!
God Bless and Take Care,
Chris
