your best day sober so far

[msh58]

Was wondering what your best day sober was so far.

I'm just realizing that i think mine was today.

I have two part time jobs, both are low paying but perfect for me. both of which i like now that i was moved to another store. content with both jobs

was able to clean my apartment for the inspection tomorrow without last minute panicing that they will kick me out like i thought would happen last year with how bad i had trashed the place and had to scramble to make it look less than degenerate. content with where i live

car is reliable. content with the car

meds are working. content with the meds

had dinner at my parents tonight like i usually do wednesdays. 68 degrees out, it was perfect. bbq'd chicken outside with my dad, great meal, lot of laughs.

thats my best day.

That is a tough question.

I could say that the day I was kicked in the teeth (figuratively) was my best day sober. That would have been they day that opened my eyes to the start of a new life. I was in such emotional pain like I had never felt before and thought I would never make it through the day into the next.
But that day, as painful as it was did save my life.

Today was another day sober so today was a good day as well.

My best day sober will be when I am free from all of my legal troubles all related to my drinking and have my full license back....until then.....every day is my best day sober....

My best day sober was Wednesday last week. It came from unfortunate circumstance, as my girlfriend had just had her wisdom teeth out and I wasn’t drinking because she needed me to look after her. Anyhoo, I had had a job interview the day before and on that Wednesday I was told I had the job. And I was looking forward to the physical test for the fire service on the Friday at the time so my confidence was sky high.

Caring boyfriend, new job, sober, fire fighter applicant…world-beater.

All gone a bit south now though!

There’s still time….

I've had so many "best days" it would be hard to isolate any particular day but then i been sober nearly 12 years.

I have been sober and working on my sobriety for 4 months now and I have had many outstanding days. Some that come to mind:

In February, I experienced my biggest career accomplishment. A major deal that I helped negotiate (took three years) was finalized. Huge recognition from my peers, leaders, and loved ones. Coincidently, the deal was ratified on the one year anniversary of my fathers passing. I could feel my dad's presence with me all day, giving me strength, making him proud.

Last month, I spent some time alone with my uncle after his wife had passed away. Despite the sadness, I made the old guy laugh a few times. He also gave me some valuable advice. Two guys helping each other.

On a more intangible level, this past week I had a day where everything just fell into place. I was focused, could see everything in my life clearly, grateful for everything...at peace. My alcoholism, the negative aspects of my past, my current challenges were all in their place...nothing to worry about, everything as it should be.

More good days to come, today is pretty good actually!

Some days that I thought were my best days, were not really best days at all. There's been many good days... I've sampled the smörgåsbord of sober life, and had fun in many ways that I never did before I got sober. I hope that if I stay sober, I will continue to have great days and experience better living than I could have ever had before.

Well I have no room here to share yet. But I do want to take you back to earlier this year when I got all drunk at a bar, and happen to catch the flu that same night. I woke up feeling the sickest I ever felt with any binger. I was so disgusted that I decided that it was time number 12,987,136 to quit. And I did good for 6 weeks. The first two I felt sorta "my normal self" but after that something started to change. I was more upbeat and positive. I wasn't so self consciences thinking. Felt more confident and alert and the funny thing is I didn't even notice till week number 6. I didnt really have the craving to drink because thinking of that last binger made me sick to myself, but I just wanted it because I felt so good about myself, the best feeling I had in a couple years. Needless to say, back to square one. But dammit if that just ain't a feeling I want to get back, and this time don't go running off to celebrate how good I'm feeling!
