It is an accomplishment. I remember 5 days. I remember a week, a month, and especially a year.
I have a “Sober Song”. I will hear it once in a while on Spotify, but every landmark day, I play it for myself. It used to be every week then it went to every month now it once a year.
It marks the date that Higher Power and many others have helped me reach.

You need to cut yourself a bit of slack there Ryan, of course 5 days is a milestone. It’s the worst 5 days over. And with a partner who still drinks? A pretty damn fine start!

It isn’t everyone’s style but it so reflects the day to day tragedy and struggle if addiction. Plus KK is amazing. Rhodes Scholar, Helicopter pilot in Vietnam, taught at West Point and walked away from it all to be a Country singer.

Oh hell yes it is! I woke up to day 5 today and I haven’t made 5 days in a row for a long time. For me the first month is the hardest but every day sober is a win

Absolutely it is !
Five days leads to a week, then a fortnight, then a month… and on and on.
Good job !

Every day is a miracle in my eyes the best advice I can give even though I’m new to the community is to get a sponsor, take suggestions, go to meetings, and get a higher power. So far it’s worked for me I got a little over 4 months clean right now

Hello, I appreciate the comment. I’m happy AA is and has been working for you. I have found solace and comfort in meetings in the past. I have also had different types of sponsors. The 12 step program isn’t for me however. I can take a lot of the positive from AA and put that in my toolbox, but there are certain things I can’t fully commit to “the higher power” thing even though your higher power doesn’t necessarily have to be God.
