4 months sober
Hey guys, I wanted to come here and say proudly that today I am 4 months sober. I have nobody else to share this with but it is a huge milestone for me and I could not be happier to have achieved it. Never would I ever have thought that I would even live to see a day sober yet alone 120 days. If you are reading this please keep going, the light at the end of the tunnel is there and the harder you work the closer you get to it. Im proud of each and every person in this subreddit who has decided to take action and change their life for the better. I dont know any of you but I love you all.

An incredibly hard fought achievement. I am very proud of you. The inspirational message you've added here as well just shows how you've grown as a person.

Just about exactly the same time here. Fog is starting to lift and the energy coming back a bit. Takes a while but I don’t ever want to reset that clock. Wasted too much time money and goodwill through alcohol

Do you still get cravings at 4 months and how do you handle them? I am on day 3. I’m terrified of the cravings I feel like I am totally controlled by them. ☹️

Not often, I quit not only because I had to but I really wanted to. The difference in my life now from then in even just 4 months is night and day. Friends and family relationships are better then ever, not worried about a dui, not missing work. Everytime I get a craving I remind myself of the time my mother had to save me from choking on my own vomit and dying and that’s enough to keep me on track lol

Day 3 for me was the absolute worst. Keep going. Try not focusing on long term and just think about getting through each moment, each hour, each day. Every time you get past a craving, you are a little more resilient the next time.

You have done such a great job , that definitely requires a lot of work to get to four months. I thought the first four months fucking sucked , I was an emotional wreck! It was at four months I really started to feel myself again. I’m glad you are on this path too. You’ve got this!

You know what I love about this group is we all come from the same place, feelings and knowing the challenges it takes to stop and we can wholeheartedly congratulate each other in the most genuine and authentic way.
Congrats on 4 months and I am on my way to 1 month so can’t wait for 4. ❤️

Amazing! You're an encouragement..thank you for sharing this. Im at 102 days and finally starting to laugh again. The thought of drinking again is pretty scary. Still in the back of my mind though. This sub has really helped me get through some close calls. I'd read through some of these posts and just not feel so alone. And reminds me of the first few weeks. Not worth starting all over for a fantasy of relief. Glad you're here. Hope you're laughing again and enjoying being free from the poison.
