6 Months - Never Before and Never Again

6 months ago I drank my final drink although I didn’t know that until I woke up in the morning. I had a good night, I was fun and happy, but I couldn’t remember how I got home, I didn’t remember leaving the bar, and I had a sucky hangover all day. I layed in bed that morning thinking to myself “ok, last night was a rare occurrence, things didn’t go south, I actually had a fun night last night. But even with that, I feel awful now and I blacked out bits of the night because I don’t remember leaving the bar or even finishing my last drink. When am I going to finally say enough is enough.”

Turns out, I decided that moment. I haven’t had a single drink in 6 months and I don’t plan to go back. This will be my first and last 6 months. Looking forward to many more. :blush:

Congrats. Day 90 for me. I feel like i can’t go back but every day i wish i could be just a casual drinker but i know i can’t. I always felt like there was never enough wine to get me drunk enough to sleep through the night. I can relate to the horrible hangovers. Saying never again then having a drink as soon as u start feeling better. Sounds like someone was watching over u that night. Think about all the horrible things that could’ve happened. Thank God u ended up safe in bed. Keep going forward.
