I would have never bet on getting this far in sobriety: 500 days. It feels like a lot, but also like a little. I mentally retrace the various steps that have happened. It took me 4 months of attempts to reach day 1. I thought that 80% sobriety was a great achievement, but then someone here made me realize that the only option is 100%, and they were right, they convinced me!

What has helped me a lot:

- THIS COMMUNITY, a few of my timid posts, and hearing from clear-headed people who responded without judgment, but instead encouraged me
- In the beginning, the ONLINE MEETINGS on In the Rooms [Online Recovery Community, Live Addiction Meetings &12 Step Meetings Online](https://www.intherooms.com/home/category/community-and-meetings/)
- THE ONE HUNDRED DAYS CHALLENGE; there are different rooms here and even a layout with 100 days to check off. I started it after 30 days, and it really helped me get through the early months. Check in here [100 day SOBER challenge!](https://talkingsober.com/t/100-day-sober-challenge/161766)
- THE SELF-ASSESSMENT CALENDAR on this app

The benefits of sobriety are amazing: every minute feels more intense, a great clean energy, the ability to perceive people and situations with more sensitivity, less fear of facing difficult things, greater self-esteem, and a desire to keep improving (nutrition, exercise, goals, sex, etc.)

Thank you all so much! I couldn’t not celebrate with you. 😁🏆5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣
