How many times did you hit reset before you stick to a sober life?
I have managed to stay sober with out a slip. But i was a dry drunk for first two years tryin to do it on my own and it was worse than when i was drinking. The support and help from members and AA has kept me goin since. BUT can i say one thing it doesnt matter how many times u have to reset. The important thing is that you keep trying you will make it if you want it enough.

Once. I even went so far as to delete the app from my phone. 11 months later, I came back. I have been sober ever since. In one week, I will celebrate two years.

I’ve never reset this app as I have not relapsed since joining. I did have 2 previous half-assed attempts at sobriety that ended in relapse prior to joining

Honest? For me, a lot. But before I didnt use the forum …only the counter. And I’ve now been in AA about a month. 20 days sober tomorrow. Sure, I have had longer stretches but this time I feel better. I have admitted I am an alcoholic. Leaving it there. 1 day at a time. Just keep going
… dont give up. If I can …you can.

I’m afraid I had 1 relapse. And as soon as I done it I regretted it straight away rang my sponsor and got myself away from where I was . I work my programme to the best of my ability and do everything suggested to me . I never want to pick up again. I love the life I have today all thanks to this app and aa x

Before this site, the amount of time I said I really need to stop this and tried for a week or so, count in the hundreds… Since starting this app and this is all I use for stopping, zero resets… Though only Do the others count, I think so, they seemed big thoughts at the time. Though this is more real this time, it’s bigger, I gave up easier before and now really fighting each almost slip to stay on top. 11 days today… So all to play for yet. As a real attemptorer, I’m a new…

Since finding this app I have not hit reset. I’ve not had to
Previously I had spent 2 years trying on my own, going a week then drinking again. Trying to moderate, then within a short space of time back to where I was.
I’ve not had the need to reset my counter because the advice I got off here was golden.
I chose to listen to the people on here who had found a way to do it instead of thinking I could do it all by myself.
And by the grace of my higher power, I’m still here. 390 days later.

Had one relapse. jan 29th-May 20th this year sober for 111days… then thought I could be a normal drinker 
lost 3 months 
… now back at it for good! 107 days under my belt and nothing’s going to stop me! For the last year or so I tried to control it but failed miserably …I think, It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, just get back up and eventually it will stick you just have to want it bad enough and learn from each slip.

I hit reset too many times between 2015 and 2019. During that time I lost my family, lost my career, lost my home, & was in poor health. On January 4th of this year I was finally lonely enough, and hurting enough that I finally had enough. I couldn’t go longer than a month trying to stay sober. Today I’m coming up on 11 months, and I feel more resolute than ever that I’ve taken my last drink.

I am fortunate that I have not had to hit reset once in the past 498 days.
AA and the 12 Steps are the reason why (for me)

I say I had 3 serious starts (and restarts)…but there were 100s of resets. If that makes sense.
Basically my first attempt was Dec 2016. I reset countless times until I gave up that spring (April).
Second attempt was December 2017. I still had a few resets but overall did better…until August 2018 and I fell HARD.
November 26, 2018 I said “ENOUGH!” and I quit again…for the last time.
One year today!!!

I never reset this app either and have not relapsed since joining. I attempted for real once (a few weeks before discovering this app) and got way to close to the sun in a drunken fiasco. I Learned The final lesson I needed to get sober. I’ll have three years December 12.

Never reset.
I was trying to quit on my own for about 2 months before I went to AA. Try as I might I always ended up with a drink in my hand. Every friggin day!
I would white knuckle it through the day. And by night time I had a drink. I couldn’t understand it! I knew that I would lose everything if I drank again. I would literally have tears when I was pouring that drink.
Then I went to AA on March 6th 2017. There I learned why I drank the way I did even tho I wanted to stop. I learned that I had no mental defense against taking that first drink. I learned that defense had to come from a power greater than myself.
