I got 90! A fourth of a year living without alcohol. I'm beginning to learn new social skills, and it's helping my self esteem.

Way to go Laurie! You've come far, just be careful. An emotional hit (good or bad) can set you thinking that the wine may not be such a bad idea. Don't fall for it!

Self esteem is a hard one for me. I try to remind myself that I am and always have been worth it. So thankful I found this support. A great group of people, that are there to lift us up and help us with our struggles. Glad you're here. Welcome home!

Some statistics say <5% of those that try in earnest to get sober make it to 90 days. You are in rare company! Congratulations!!

A sad statistic...but I believe it. I'd go a few weeks off here and therebin the past, but alcohol is such a part of my social circle. It's legal and readily available. I imagine those factors make it more difficult. Thank you for the encouragement. I'm not looking back this time.

Sadder still, is only 5% of those that make 90 days, go on to make 2 years. That is less than 3 in 1000. The air is rare. Keep going!!

Congratulations it is a milestone. I learned the hard way. " 1 drink is too many, 1000 is never enough". I'm 135 days sober and hope i learned it this time. Best of luck
