    i have to add that i also kicked coffee today and anti-axiety meds last week. i am guessing i should have spaced this all out. then again, i don’t seem to know anything.

    Congratulations, Brooke! I don’t know who you are and you don’t know me, but I came across your blog and read your post. I had to take a moment to congratulate you on your sobriety. I am coming off an anti-depressant now and so far I am doing great! I hope you continue to have good success and wish you the best of luck!!

    Got me beat by a couple weeks, I had five years at one point, then blew it off over stresses…whatever. Congratulations, I’m sober for today, and glad to be…life is going good, hope yours does as well…peace.

    The trick is to change your addiction to something else that won’t hurt you… and truly understand how you are depended on one or two substance everyday.

    Way to go and keep it up!

    Thank you! Your comments are a truly wonderful form of support. Especially since some people IRL refuse to admit I had a problem at all. Yesterday was rough, and when I made it through without a drink, I woke up feeling stronger than ever before.

    I admire your guts and perseverance. That’s a tough thing. Did it myself and it was HARD. Keep going. Well done.

    Congratulations! It’s not easy.. I am on Day 48! I don’t know if I could kick the coffee at the same time though.. You are VERY strong!

    NICE, Brooke! I’m so happy to have popped in here and read that post, simple and sweet!

    Can’t believe you are kicking coffee too…you go girl. I’m not going to do that!

    Thanks again everyone. For the record. I have had two small cups of coffee since then and I am drinking decaf blended with hot chocolate. I just needed to get relax with the several cups a day. It’s not good for the certain planning of – the preparation of – certain conditions….and really, I’ve said too much ; )

    well congratulations. I tried to do 30 days (without alc) after the superbowl – lol – that was gonna be my last hurrah – and failed pretty miserably.

    I think I lasted a week.

    caffeine, forget it. I don’t think I have ever lasted more than a few days.

    i wish the addiction to working out was as hard to kick. It’s been like six months since i’ve been regular in that department lol
