My record was 2 years porn free. Longest abstaining from masturbation was 1 year. Iā€™ve currently completed 92 days, no P, no MB.

And I concur with what @Melrm shared. Quality over quantity. This period that Iā€™m experiencing is definitely higher quality.:slight_smile:

My month of sobriety is up whoo hoo, got through loads of stress without resorting to alcoholā€¦now for the rest of my life. I donā€™t want to go back to that feeling sick, hungover or ashamed or worrying about who I might have upset while under the influence. I have learnt so much from this app. Thank you everyone for all the great advice and hope I have helped others too. Distraction, distraction, distraction to take your mind off what you crave and the feeling will eventually pass. Donā€™t be afraid to get professional support. Blessings and good wishes go to you all :grinning:

When I was going through my "I can control this and drink sensibly " phase the longest I managed was 35 days. It was usually a lot less. That phase lasted about 15 years.

Now I am in my ā€œNo I canā€™t control this!ā€ phase and I am on day 155.

Amazingly I seem to be entering a ā€œremind me, what was so great about drinking anyway?ā€ phase.

Keep going people. We are all amazing without alcohol.

6 years?!! Wow. Iā€™m just curiousā€¦what made u go back? Did you think you could go back to casual drinking because of how long it had been? Just wonderingā€¦so I donā€™t make the same mistake

A few thingsā€¦I quit going to meetings and working my recovery. I had a tragic event happen that I didnā€™t process properly, I didnā€™t reach out to other recovering alcoholics when I started having thoughts about drinking, I forgot what it felt like to be drunk and hungover and miserable. I relapsed and went down further than I ever did before. The saying about this being a cunning, baffling, and very patient disease? Thatā€™s an understatement. Everyday we have to be vigilant and not get comfortable into thinking it will be differentā€¦that we can drink and be okay. I started right where I left off and stayed very sick for 6 more years. Finally when I had enough punishment, I came back to recovery in sobriety. Thatā€™s why I say that it doesnā€™t matter how much time you have, we are all one drink away. Itā€™s the quality of your sobriety that matters most.

One drink is all it takesā€¦ One is never enoughā€¦thatā€™s what I have to tell myself tooā€¦whenever the urge comes. Good luck with everythingā˜ŗ

14 days here. Thatā€™s the longest in 10 years (since I was pregnant then nursing). My previous stretch after my son was born was 3 days. Aromatherapy, Kudzu, and mitragyna are great helps. I think Iā€™ve got it this time. Both my sisters died from alcoholic anorexia. I canā€™t ever go back, I fear Iā€™d get to that point myself. Focusing on being healthy and keeping busy gardening and cooking. My first time posting. Iā€™ve been lurking for a time. Hi all!

4 days and counting. Iā€™m finally looking forward to being alcohol free. I canā€™t remember a time when I was. Even as a child I snuck ā€œsipsā€ of my dadā€™s beer/whisky. Itā€™s scary and exciting to me at the same time.

Iā€™m on day 2 and gritting my teeth pretty hard. My record is 7 days, which was a few months ago. Iā€™m finding it difficult to distract myself or focus on anything, but I know I can power through it!
