You should be very proud of yourself! Doubly so, because you recognized there was a problem, then chose to take that first step. Keep up the good work! 🙂 ---

Interesting to me. I seldom got really, really drunk but I would suspect that any time of day or night If I had been given a blood test there would have been some alcohol present. I quit with the support of a whole bunch of good people and one night as I lay in bed I realized that I hadn’t had a single drink for a whole week. I haven’t had a drink for a long time now but the thrill of that realization is still a high point. ---

A fine accomplishment! Congratulations! (and it gets ME thinking… when was the last time I hadn’t had a drink for a week? Seven days? I can’t remember. No, I’m not an alcoholic, but 7 days is a LOOOOONG time!) ---

Wanna have some fun? Go to a party where there’s lots of drinking going on. Watch the drinkers have a good time. It’ll reinforce your committment to sobriety. Congrats on one week, keep it up. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-week-sober/136385.md?page=2)
