The truth is, even if you had never drank three years ago, today you could still not regain what existed then. In that sense "Recovery" is a misleading term. The point is not to regain the past - it is to gain a better today. The way to do that? Don't drink, and make small changes for a better today. If you make that a daily habit, at some point you will realize that you have a life full of blessings you never imagined, far greater than the things you initially hoped to "regain."

Congratulations on 66 days, that is no small miracle. Think about that miracle when you lay your head down tonight, and wake up tomorrow grateful for another opportunity to grow and make the world just a little bit better from you being in it.

Good luck, you are doing fine!
