8, thats eight, count em weeks - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

nogard · 07-15-2005, 02:15 PM

Today is Day 56 for me, 8 weeks. Sometimes it does not seem that long, this morning it feels terrific. 8 weeks, no hangover, 8 weeks of clarity, 8 weeks with my own feelings back, 8 weeks and $$$$ I have not wasted.

Many challenges but thats great as well at least I know I am alive, I feel it in every fibre of my being.

I am so pleased and grateful to be clean sober to be part of this community and AA.

8 weeks I did this (with help) me, moi, little ole me.

Thank you for reminding that miracles do happen every day.

Congrats on your eight weeks...
Each day that one of "us" is sober, really is a miracle... only another addict would truly understand the profound beauty in that simple truth.
