Lovely post. Delighted to hear of your progress. The 30 day mark was a crucial one for me. A lot of things started to clear at that point. It inspired me to make other changes in my life that I had previously avoided, including improvement to my diet, more exercise and quitting smoking. It also deepened my resolve to stay with the AA programme and follow the steps, work with my sponsor and work on spiritual growth.
To be honest, I had a slip soon after reaching 30 days last time. That was partly because I had not made the changes in other areas that support recovery and I was not following the programme.
This time, it's different.
