    Tyler, I couldn't be happier for you. What you are doing is the biggest miracle and the best gift you will ever give yourself and those around you.

    I drank that much too, when I stopped. My first year was the hardest thing I have ever been through -- the first year sober was harder than the last years of drinking were. But at 14 months sober, my life started to get better and better. And my life today is beyond what I ever could have chosen or even imagined for myself. My sobriety date is January 3, 2005.

    Keep taking it one day at a time.

    Elaine

    Congratulations. It takes a very strong person to admit they have a problem. It takes a stronger person to do something about it. Thanks for posting. You've inspired me.

    Well done. There are many types of strength, all applauded on mfp, but this type of strength, strength of resolve and spirit is not applauded enough. You should be very proud- you are doing an amazing thing that can never be looked back on with regret.
    Keep up the good work! :)

    Tyler, I don't know you, but your post literally brought tears to my eyes. I know first hand what living with an alcoholic is like, and how it can destroy a family, especially children, for generations to come. The courage it took for you to admit to yourself you had a problem and the willingness to do something about it, was your first selfless act of sobriety.
    I know it wasn't easy. It will probably never be easy, but nothing worth having is really ever easy.
    Congratulations to you. I know your family and friends must be so very proud of you. You will probably never fully realize the enormous shift in your future and those around you.
    Keep up the great work! And enjoy your new life.

    100 Days
    2400 hours
    144000 Minutes
    Or some where close to that.

    100 days ago I sat down and admitted that I had a problem. I couldn't handle the beer anymore. It was time for a change, time for a new me. I "confessed" everything on here, and since that day my friends on here have been nothign short of amazing.

    I've laughed
    I've cried
    I've been scared
    I've been embarrassed
    I've been ashamed

    I've also been proud, & that is something that no one can ever take away from me. 100 days ago I didn't think that this was possible. I didn't believe that the guy who was drinking 18-24 beers a night could just STOP. But holy ****, I have done it. I can't say that it's been easy. I can't say that I haven't stood in front of a beer fridge for an hour wondering if I could have just one.

    What I can say, is that if you think you need help, then get it. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's scary, it hurts, but there is a lot to be said for a sober life.

    My friends: There is no way I could of done this without you. You have been nothing short of amazing. You're always there when it's late and I need you. You always know how to make me smile. You know how to make it all seem okay.

    I don't know when my next blog will be. 150? 200? 360? But just know that if I can do it, then you can too.



    Peace.

    Tyler

    Good work Tyler. Keep it up! I'm just across the river if you ever need help or struggle.

    Congratulations! It's funny how big of a weight that is lifted when you lose the alcohol. I have 4 1/2 months sober and I feel so much lighter. :)
