Today, my heart rate is elevated and I don't like it. Never again.
Today is my first official day sober with the intent of never going back. Ever onward.
To the other patriots who have also quit, hats off to ya. I'm right behind ya.

32 yrs sober praise the Lord. I drank enough for a lifetime in the 8 yrs that I partook...maybe that's an understatement. But, I have a testimony to give now to others and along with turning my life over to God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit I spent six months in outpatient treatment along with some AA. When I accepted Jesus I asked that the desire to drink be removed. It was!, instantly. The issues I had were habitual. I had to change my lifestyle completely and abruptly.
That said, I now help with the Celebrate Recovery program at my church. It is a 12 step program based on Christianity. Maybe you can find a chapter local to you.

Wow, that's quite a long time. I've asked for my desire to drink be removed. It already is as of right now, but I'm praying He helps keep the demon away.
I'm checking out your link right now, thank you so much sir. God bless your heart.
And I'll pray for you. You can do this.
Thank you so much. I appreciate yas.
Similar length of time here (but it's not a competition, is it?). By now you may have noticed, as I have, that being sober is more of a habit than a daily struggle. I can't recall the last time I had a drinking thought, or worse, a drinking dream. I used to HATE those things...waking up in a sweat and thinking I had picked up a drink again. Good for you, congratulations on 32 years. But we both know, we didn't do it alone, did we?
Grats on your similar length of time and I think "praise the Lord" covers your last question.
Indeed.
Just came across this. Thought it to be apropos.
