Sober journey day 8-9

Today is day 9! I’m one day away from the longest I’ve gone with out alcohol. Coffee & work are my best friends :coffee::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yesterday was really really hard. Me and my boyfriend of 8 years have been fighting to get him off paper and we finally did it! Was a HUGE HUGE WIN! But the last few years we talked all the time about how we were going to celebrate and getting sober took all that away and so I couldn’t celebrate with him like I wanted to and that was very very frustrating. Spent alot of time crying in bed just trying to not drink. And I did it. I got through it and I really didn’t think I would. I really feel like after the breakdown that that was all I needed, a good meltdown. Feeling much better today and was already feeling better last night. I know I’m going to have so many more moments like that but I have more confidence in myself now. :heart:

Yes to more moments like that but also yes to being able to handle them better with more sobriety under your belt.
9 days is fantastic and i know you can get double digits and keep tacking on the days. So many ways to celebrate and you don’t have to be wasted to celebrate (doesn’t that actually defeat the celebration - you want to savor each moment and by drinking you are diluting the situation). Sobriety is all about re-wiring our minds and figuring out how to live life on lifes terms and enjoy every fucking minute of it completely stone cold sober!
So happy for you and your journey - thank you for sharing with us.
