38 weeks. This was a big one. My job is cyclical, and this time of year marks the beginning of a lot of stress over several months. I always drink more — sometimes a lot more. But this week I stayed sober, and I think I can keep it up. This thread provides a lot of motivation, so thank you!

I'm going to the Travis concert tonight. You know that band that kind of sounds like Coldplay?
anyway, I'm afraid I have to get really f**ked up for it, since crowds make me nervous :(
Great work Rooting for you!
I am not sure who needs to hear this, but ...
It's amazing how much sobriety impacts me in the same ways running impacts me. The effects change as the process rolls along. And they are cumulative.
Just like running, things started to really clock after about 9 months. Something about all the slightly-better days stacked on top of each other took things to a new level. All of the people who are close to me made comments in the last couple of weeks that they notice really positive changes in me. They didn't say that three or six months ago.
So if you are struggling and want to get started, take the long view. It is so worth it.

AC/DC aren't the best examples if you want to encourage drinking, as you seem to.
Bon Scott died of alcohol poisoning, Malcolm Young was an alchoholic and died from early onset alcohol-related dementia, Phil Rudd was an alcoholic and ended up in jail because of it. But yes, how very witty to post that link in a thread that's generally supportive of people wanting to improve their relationship with alcohol...
Well done Chunks and Rooting for you

Thanks. Rooting for you as well. I was tempted a bit on Superbowl Sunday but overcame the urge.
