Hi Gabe, thanks for checking in. I’m hanging in there at Day 122.98. Four months snuck up on me when I wasn’t even looking…or counting. It used to be hard to watch other people drinking, but now it doesn’t so much register. I did a poetry slam in front of an audience and was so nervous. Did it sober. I’ve conquered so many situations that, before, would have required a drink. My mom is end stage Alzheimer’s and I’m grieving with a clear head.
I head to Europe this week. Am I confident I won’t drink? No. It will really be one day at a time. But I’ve already travelled so far and ventured into unfamiliar territory that has stopped feeling daunting. No matter what happens, what I choose, I’ve grown.

What a great word. Conquered indeed!! What a win. Public speaking is a huge fear for most people. It would have been pretty easy To “rationalize” a drink to “take the edge off” or “calm the nerves” But no, you Conquered!!
Ha, what would you say if 123 days ago someone you would be doing a poetry jam bone sober??
Thanks for the share pal. 4 months is a long friggin time!! Congratulations:)

oh good! Yeah that would be cool. I don’t always notice if someone gets on or catch all the check ins. Glad to hear it! 
Haha I feel like I am too. But it’s my last and most helpful social media app left! I think if we’re going to be addicted to something this a great app to be addicted to! Just sayin. Baby steps.
