Sorry this not an AIBU but anyway....

AIBU to be so pleased with myself to be able to say I am 39 days sober today??

Last year I started drinking far too much, nearly destroyed my marriage. Started AA just before lockdown and am now 39 days sober. I have posted before under another name when I was struggling.

Well done. Keep on keeping on.

YANBU and very well done! I’m struggling to kick the booze and was shocked listening to the radio today around 450pm on a Tuesday with the DJ saying “it’s now wine time” and people going on about drinking cocktails in the morning during lockdown! I appreciate not everyone has a problem with alcohol but the promotion and normalisation of drinking as a support mechanism doesn’t help.

If you don’t mind be asking @Sobermum90, how did you do it?

PajamasnoDramas · 21/04/2020 18:31

YA def NBU! Well done. I don’t drink huge amounts but more of a little and far too often, every night currently, which is still problematic. I keep thinking of having a dry month, but immediately talk myself out of it, as it’s so-and-so’s birthday/Christmas/More than 15 days in the month. Must try harder here.

Dipi79 · 21/04/2020 18:32

Well done! I'm 3 months sober. X

Well done! Congratulations

meow1989 · 21/04/2020 19:21

That's amazing, 39 days sober would have been a difficult enough thing to achieve in normal times, let alone with the added stresses of lockdown. Be proud!

WELL DONE !
I think you have done especially well, considering what unusaul/ frightening times we are going through. Long may your sobriety continue, best wishes to you :)

Etinox · 21/04/2020 19:26

That’s amazing! I’m 10 years sober thanks to AA and have been thinking about how I’d have coped in early days lock down. The changed routine, the excuses. 😫 I’m really impressed! Are you doing online AA?

HandfulOfDust · 21/04/2020 19:27

YADNBU Go you OP! And in a lockdown too - think you deserve extra credit!

RainbowGlittersandSparkles · 21/04/2020 19:27
