Hi All!

I wanted to check in real quick as I've been very, very delinquent as of late in regards to checking in and posting - darn work and life schedules keep getting in the way!

Anyways, today is Day 47 for me and I'm feeling awesome. I'm still going to AA meetings every day and I am just loving life in sobriety. I'm starting to really hit a point where it just feels "normal" to live life without alcohol and, when I first started this awesome journey, I saw that mindset as an impossibility. I am just in awe and amazement at how God can and will change us if we'll just submit our lives to him and be ready to do whatever it takes to stay sober.

I think that's been the biggest change for me as opposed to 4 years ago when I dropped out - no more excuses, no more exceptions. It is simply being ready to do whatever it takes to get and remain sober. Period.

Anyways, I just wanted to thank everyone on this board once again for all of your love and support. You are all such a HUGE blessing to me and I promise to get back involved starting right now.

As a last note, I just wanted to send out a word of encouragement to those just starting out in sobriety or those even just considering getting sober. I know that you do not know me, but I promise you that if I can do it, anyone can do it! I had all the doubts in the world before this journey started and all I can tell you is that the life I have now (after just 40+ days) is above and beyond what I could have EVER imagined. I love waking up sober and being able to live instead of just exist. Yes, life is still hard but it is so much easier to deal with the difficulties as a sober man than as a drunken mess.

God Speed,
