I started off with setting small goals for myself so I could stay sober. My first sobriety goal was one week, then after one week it was two weeks, until it eventually turned to one month, and so on. Now my goal is six months, and I know I can reach it. What are y’alls goal to stay sober? Are you all on day two or going on week five, or is the goal to reach a certain month or is it a certain year?
After I get six months, my next goal will be one year, but for now my focus is reaching that six month mark.

Don’t think he’d ever get past the admitting he has a problem part.
I’m not a miracle worker. I’ll stick to things I have a chance at achieving.

Every day my goal is to have a productive day and contribute to society somehow, then go to bed sober.
I’ve found that taking it one day at a time is the best way for me. I used to say “I’ll do 10 days without drinking” or something to that affect, but it was too daunting and I couldn’t stay sober.
Everyone is different but one day at a time is the way to go for me!

My goal is to try and help as many people as possible before I kick the bucket. I did some bad things in my past, I want to leave this earth as ‘net positive’ as possible.
It helps me stay sober. I can’t let down all those I would otherwise have been more capable of helping.

M currently on day 20 but have just read a post by someone on day 60, so I think I will make that my next goal. In reality it’s just one day at a time, but 60 has a nice ring to it.
If you had told me 19 days ago I would get to here, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Seriously though, it pays to not get too far ahead of ourselves. Whilst it’s commendable to have long term goals none of us have control of the future.
I have it firmly set in my mind, now, that I no longer drink, but I can only really say that today I am going to be sober.
A lot of people, usually at the start of the journey, find it hard to think about never having a drink again. This is because of the way that drinking is so ingrained in our lifestyles. It’s hard to think that next birthday you won’t be getting drunk, when in the past it been one of our biggest excuses!
Having had two sober birthdays now, I can tell you that I actually enjoyed this last one far better than I did last year’s.
Anywho… often at the start of the journey we get a feeling of unbeatable euphoria, a pink cloud,
This can, and does pass, leaving us fighting the desire to drink.
Whilst having a counter that has set goals, the way most of us found this app, it’s always best to stay centered on today.

I know exactly what you mean! I really never believed I would get to 20 days or 30 or 90 or gasp 120 or more. Seeing people’s big numbers was inspiring and slightly defeating all at the same time. Yet day by day here we are. ODAAT keeps me sane. 
And sober.
