Today marks 150 days (5 months) of sobriety. 150 days ago I was riddled with shame, guilt, self-hatred, hopelessness, and pure depression and anxiety. I knew that I couldn’t live like that anymore. I knew I was up for the fight of my life and God would be there (even if I didn’t yet believe He had forgiven me or how much He really loved me) What I was doing to myself wasn’t working.
Today, I don’t look or feel like the same person. I deserved another chance at a sober life and was given that gift. It has changed everything. Now, I have the ability to give back what I freely recieved. Some days are harder than others, but I’ve never regretted a day sober. (8 days smoke free as well)
Congratulations Mel (and @Leelee77) ! We are doing this! These past 5 months have been life changing. I’m so very grateful for your friendship as we walk this journey together. It makes all the difference. I hope you have a great day! Treat yo-self!
@Melrm. 150 days that is totally awesome! You should be jumping in the streets, standing on the roof shouting from the chimney. WOW. I bet when you look in the mirror you see a totally different person. congratulations! That is such awesome hard work, you should be so proud of yourself, your family should be proud of you. Keep up all the struggle. Don’t forget to thank your higher power for all the blessings that has been bestowed upon you Amen…⚘
Congratulations to all of you celebrating 5 months. I really like your description of how you saw your life and the way you view your life now. That’s a great feat in 5 months. Thanks for sharing that. So glad I have got to watch you all walk this journey towards recovery.
Congratulations that is awesome news!!! And a timely reminder how depressing alcohol makes you (not you but anyone in general).
Thanks for sharing! Really helps!
And thank you for everything you do for this group. You really do help us all in our journey. You are an inspiration and you truly deserve everything you’ve gained.
Amazing! Congratulations! I really admire you, and the words you speak are so very inspirational to me. I hope to follow suit and post my 150 day accomplishment someday. You give me hope and light where i see darkness and confusion.
