Today is day 60 since my final drink, and my life already is infinitely better than it was just a mere two months ago. I am so happy in sobriety. And this is no "pink cloud" that I am on, my obsession for alcohol has mostly disappeared. My days are now preoccupied with living. Recovery is an important part of that, but I do not spend all day long obsessing about what I need to do today to avoid alcohol--avoiding alcohol is just becoming second nature. I already faced some pretty big challenges/stressors in my early recovery and I was able to face them head-on successfully without entertaining the thought of drinking. My recovery consists of SMART, diet/nutrition, exercise, mindfulness meditation and being active with friends and in my community. In comparison to previous attempts at becoming sober, I have never felt so solid in my recovery as I do now.
A big thanks to everyone on this board that offered encouragement along the way.
