I am at 24 days and can really relate to your post. It feels like it has been so much longer than 24 days since I was drowning myself in the bottle on a nightly basis. Seems like a different lifetime most of the time.
"well, now that you are sober, why isn't your life awesome?"
I catch myself thinking that often! Ok..I am sober - let the amazing life begin....NOW.
But I have also come to the same conclusion as you "Things happen in their own time." AND I remind myself of how amazing it is that I am NOT drinking every night - or thinking about drinking, or planning to drink, or hiding bottles, or running to the store to buy wine, or worrying about my health and what I am doing to it, etc... So, all the amazing life stuff hasn't happened overnight, but if I focus on how amazing it is that I am NOT drinking and how it's just the beginning (baby steps
then it really helps. Congratulations on your month!
