Sober thirty days today

Milestones

Hey everyone!!

After a solid two weeks of PAWS in the beginning of my journey, but now two weeks later… I’m feeling significantly better.
I’ve reached 30 days sober. Today!
I’m proud of myself - I’ve done lots of things I normally wouldn’t do when I was drinking.
My newly sober month of 5 months, I isolated myself from him because I didn’t want him to smell the alcohol on my breath. I showed up to a therapy session heavily of alcohol smell and she called me out on it. I was drinking everyday after work & I couldn’t go anywhere when I wasn’t working without a shot. Then a while later - I was starting to drink on the clock.
Now - I’m enjoying the outdoors more. Birds, stars, sun, and actually feeling like I can drive without breaking the law. Making jewelry, spending time with myself - looking in the mirror and feeling like i can finally face some demons I was putting off.
I’ll finally take the sober step in reporting someone I should’ve a while ago who took advantage of their position & my vulnerabilities.
Here’s to 30 days.
Fuck the cravings. I can do this.
I want to keep this up.

One month is a huge milestone! We are all proud of you, relish in this great feeling. You will keep it up, one day at a time. PAWS can be tricky, always keep in mind your “why”.

Here’s to another 30 days!

One month is a major milestone…I never thought i can do it and i did it twice…it helps me to close my eyes and look back…basically I see the action scene from bad boys 2 when they were in the freeway…

I need to start journaling…

Waking up app is good…learn some things on podcast like Joe rogan, learn a new hobby, put more hours in at work…boredom is my offender to relapse
