51 days at the end of today. That's 51 days since I drove my husband drunk to the ER and vomited in a big bucket in his ER room. The nurse asked me if I wanted to see a doctor too and I said no. Post edited by: Cthebird, at: 07/14/2012 10:05 AM Bipolar 1, Simple Partial Seizures, and migraines
Psychiatric meds:
Lithium ER (900 mg)*Tegretol XR (1400 mg)*Lamictal (100 mg)*Geodon (160 mg)*Navane (5 mg)*Seroquel XR (100 mg)*Klonopin (.5 mg)
Ativan 1 mg "as needed" (I rarely take it.)*Seroquel regular 50 mg "as needed" (Only if I'm getting elevated.)
Other meds:
Propranolol (40 mg)*Levothyroxine (150 mcg)
My mix is side effect friendly for me.

Day 52 today! No drink! Congratulations to everyone here- and holy hell Uppity- I can't count that high! Way to go. Great thread Sarah! I actually have an iPhone app called sobriety keeper- no mathmatitions live in this brain! Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

Congratulations, Cthebird, bfly and Hounden! You are making progress one day at a time. I remember my early AA meetings attending the anniversary open meetings and listening to folks who had over 20 years of sobriety and was amazed and wondered if I would ever make it to that point. But they gave me hope that if I stuck around I,too, could reach that kind of milestone. Keep it up because before you know it, you'll hit one year and what a feeling that will be! With God, all things are possible
