Thanks for posting, Ind. I see a mindset, and it's one I had for the longest time regarding quitting drinking. And it's looking at sobriety as a chore, like something that has to be painfully endured while you rack up days, trying to prove to everyone you're "really serious" this time. I fell into that trap for a long time.

I think the key is to work on yourself to make sobriety worthwhile. I've heard, there's a difference between being sober, and just being dry. It's a journey, not a race. There's no big prize you win for getting X number of days.

Don't get me wrong, 2 months is awesome, and time sober should be praised. I'm just saying trying to change your mindset to learning to live sober, and try not to focus on whether people believe you or not. Look for some recovery support, like AA or SMART. Talk to other alcoholics who understand. Just my 2 cents, good luck
