    One day at a time. AA is the only thing that worked for me. Tried to self regulate, went to psychologists, head shrinks, switched from liquor to beer etc. Completely submitting to AA, getting a sponsor and working the steps is the only thing that worked. Best of luck to you all on your journey in sobriety! PM me if anyone ever needs to talk.

    Also, remember there is a big difference between being sober and in recovery and "not drinking". Two very different things. There are a lot of "dry" drunks who dont drink but are always irritable, restless and discontent with life.

    Just over 7 months sober/recovering and things have never been better. I love the feeling of being in control in every situation and not having an altered mental state.

    Came into say, have been sober for about a month now until last night. Sober month overall has been great, physically ive been in the best shape for, well, more or less since I can remember! Its actually enjoyable to look in the mirror now and to see my progress in terms of weight loss primarily. I decided to do a month at least which I completed. I decided to drink this weekend as I had completed the month and had a date on sat night.

    However, I had just two drinks last night on this date, and had awful ****ty sleep, have been feeling rough and crappy today, and have a swollen gland in my neck today. wtf. Just goes to show this stuff is nasty. My body must be really not used to it now. Made me feel like, phuck this, I am going to stay sober. I planned to do just a month but I just can't see myself going back to drinking now. Once you see it for a drug in a scientific sense and that it has a negative effect on your life and happiness in the short and long term then you realise its not worth while.

    My social life has been a bit phucked to be honest because of no drinking. But right now, its come down to health or social life. If you have to choose one you choose health. Its still possible to socialize if I see a friend and do a non drinking related activity like play some pool, have a meal or something. Its the big weekend nights out that are hard to attend now, just because everyone is getting phucked and it just doesnt feel like there is much point in going to these events sober!

    I guess the key is to make positive changes and start new positive things to replace the drinking. I have started doing some boxing so far (something I have been meaning to do for years!) and will plan to do even more new stuff as time goes on. Sometimes I wonder whether I have become to extreme but I am just bored of wasted weekends + all the other negative effects. And I just don't see the point of having 1-2 drinks if it doesnt really have any beneficial effect.

    I haven't drank in many months now. I've quit smoking completely and plan on being clean except for on special occasions, birthday parties, weddings, new years, etc

    Props to everyone else who's dropped their drinking and smoking habits! Now only if more people can stop masturbating :P (me included)

    I used to be a big drinker before that, although I didn't really need to drink much alcohol to get drunk, so I would get completely hammered pretty much any time I drank. I realised I needed to make a change when I would get home during the week and would start in on what ever was in the cupboard, then going to my room at night and drinking all on my own sitting on my bed.

    It was hard at first, and I still do sometimes miss it, when something monumental happens in my life and I feel like I can't cope. Mostly though, I love the feeling of waking up every morning and feeling fully present, like I'm fully involved in life and not stumbling around in a haze because of wanting or having alcohol. I realized how much of a crutch alcohol became for me, and I made the decision to be strong enough to live life on my own, without that.

    Once you have freedom from alcohol, you won't want to surrender to it ever again.

    Good luck, self awareness is a great step that many people do not get at until it is too late. Definitely would get some sort of a support system going, even if it is one person you can call anytime to walk you down from a ledge.
