Arenā€™t you ahead of me by a few days??

My counter says 244 today and going by dates, my 8 month mark is tomorrow. Maybe Iā€™m just really bad at mathā€¦

Lol maybe my math is bad! I might have messed up on counting the individual days so Iā€™m going to strike the 241 lol. 6-13-2020 is my clean date so Iā€™m going to just start using that. @Piglet is my twin, Iā€™ll see what day count he has and set it straight lol. Have a great day!!!

You have 90+ sober days within you. To access it, you must believe it first.

84 days. In my reading, I see that the 90 day mark is a common place for people to think ā€œI can have one or twoā€ or ā€œIā€™ve got this beat.ā€ So, Iā€™m trying to be very intentional about fighting against this thinking. It definitely creeps in occasionally. But Iā€™m also happy to say it doesnā€™t get very far. The best thing Iā€™ve done in this journey is to get alcohol out of my house and keep it out. Refusing to go to the liquor store is critical. I donā€™t even drive by it, and when I have to, I refuse to look at it. Honestly, I do feel vulnerable, but I also know that sticking to these rules keeps me safe.

Great big congratulations on your 90 days without a cancer stick. That is such a hard nasty habit/addiction to break. It sure is an amazing feeling. Enjoy it and be so proud of yourself. Youā€™re doing it!!

Checking in at the end of day 41.
It is my last day off work tomorrow - but I feel like Iā€™ve been off for a month, so Iā€™m not too upset at the prospect of going back on Monday.
I mentioned to my wife today that this has been the best holiday of my adult life. We have been together for 23 years, and have shared well over 100 common holidays from work in that time (she is a teacher too), yet this little week in the middle of a pandemic with no ability to travel and limited access to friends has been the best one ever. Amazing what sobriety, a clear head, more energy and an even mood can do for you.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:
