2 Weeks of Sobriety Today

Life in Recovery
1

2 weeks sober today! Exactly 2 weeks ago I decided to stop drinking for good. 1 week ago my house burned down and I lost everything. Today I’m still standing STRONG and SOBER!

Also want to thank @Dolse71 for their words of encouragement on my original post about the fire. They’ve been replaying in my head on a loop to get me through the tough moments.

“Once you‘ve rebuilt yourself and your life back from this, I very much doubt anything else will ever faze you again. It isn’t the fresh start you wanted…but God/life has a plan.” I’m counting on it!!! :heart::heart:

I know you are living in a temporary house right now, can you stay there until you find another home ore are they going to rebuild your old house?
Keep going Maikala, you are doing great!

Amazing effort reaching 2 weeks despite tragic circumstances. You are a shining example to new (and older) sober people like myself that there is no excuse to pick up the bottle when feeling down. This will be a character strengthening experience to help you take on more of life’s challenges.

Now you’re almost at 3 weeks! And if not, stop and start it all again. Perseverance is the prize (for me) and takes many forms.
