90 days AF today!!!

This is the longest I’ve gone without alcohol (aside from being in a treatment facility) since I was 13 years old. 35 years of drinking is mind boggling to me now. My mind is clear and I’m getting more in tune with myself every single day. My life is so much better when I’m not “checking out” every day. Even the difficult things are easier for me to process and cope with. I have a feeling of excitement today just thinking about how this next 90 days will be….still one day at a time.

I have almost zero pain today from my surgery. I anticipated it being much worse so I’m pretty pumped about that. It’s a beautiful breezy day here in the south, and is supposed to be this way all weekend. I’m hoping to be able to spend some time outside over the next few days.

I’m very grateful to have this forum to connect with you all and get support and inspiration from. Here’s to doing another day sober!

Day 111
I thought about getting drunk this morning
Well, I don’t know that I thought about it, rather the thought came from nowhere. I was a bit taken aback by it so thought why has this entered my head? I think it’s perhaps because I’ve had a lot going on mentally over the past few weeks and I also have a super busy day tomorrow and will be out doing stuff from 9am-9pm working. I guess I recognised stress as a trigger. Obvs I didn’t drink but I feel a bit disturbed by the thought, like, is this where it gets really hard?
Anyway, went to watch the musical Six at the theatre and had a fab time this evening. It was so imaginative and such fun. Safe at home now I also did good work today at home and am looking forward to going into work tomorrow. I’m also looking forward to my first piano lesson tomorrow wish me luck…
Keep on keeping on x

I made it 6 months today.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to ready my check ins. I appreciate being able to come and chat and share this sober journey with you all. Reading and connecting has been such a helpful tool for me.
I’ve done so much good shit for myself these last 6 months, it’s amazing what you can accomplish when you stop obsessing over alcohol and trashing your body.
Bring on the next 6 months

[Ranger1209]
