That's fantastic! Keep going. You are worth it & you deserve it.
Amazing Congratulations 
Stay hydrated with water. Have a sober friend or family member if possible. And most important you only have to go 24 hrs. Just today. Tomorrow you can make the choice again. If you feel like a drink. Wait an hr, Call someone. You won't feel the same in an hr.
Cool! What happened that made it click?
Awesome

Great news!
Your feel! 
Tomorrow Iām 25 days!! It finally just clicked for me. I truly believe it was a Gift from God !
As we alcoholics know. If the uncontrollable urge to drink, was not so strong, none of us would be where we areā¦:keep praying, Godās Grace will come!
One day at a timeā¦ after 22 years of daily drinkingā¦.I finally really understand what that means!
Get yourself to a meeting!
Yes, stay connected. Iāve heard over and over again true recovery happens in community. Could be one person could be two or more start volunteering. Fill up your calendar with whatever you can to help others that will get your focus off of you and an addiction. Praying for you.
I joined a zoom meeting last night via this community and there were 245 people in on it perhaps you would venture to attend this evenings meeting?
Thanks all! It's been a very long 8 days but I am still sober. Thank you for all of your replies and encouragement...I was so embarrassed to say it outloud. I've been very good at hiding it. I live alone, my partner is active military stationed in Syria, my children are adults...so I have no one to be accountable to. I have a significant position at my job...I could let my staff know and certainly not my leaders. I would stay sober until all of my video calls were done for the day, but as you can imagine I would schedule them strategically so that I could get them out of the way as early in the day as possible. Some days I started drinking at noon and drank all day. Vodka and soda looks harmless on camera in case I had to jump on a quick call and risk someone seeing it on my desk. Then 300 of us got laid off and Im sure you know what happened then...I drank even more. Last week something just broke in me. I looked in the mirror and saw significant physical changes...it was scary. I'm glad I found this app.
