268 days here. in 10 days i will be 9 months sober.

i was a rock-bottom, lost-everything, mouthwash-drinking mess. there was no way i could stop - drinking didn't work any more, but i couldn't not drink as the withdrawals were so bad.

did you see the part where i am nearly 9 months sober? i honestly can't believe it. but i will tell you - i love sobriety. i have mental illness kicking me around, i don't have 2 pennies to rub together and i am going through my second divorce, so life isn't stress free. but i feel free anyway.

keep stringing the days together and you can see for yourself how sweet it can be. the cravings have mostly gone now. i don't think about how a drink would make me feel better. i don't spend money i don't have on something that makes me feel awful.

be well.
