Haha yes that's true rainy. I was much the same. When my therapist told me I'd have to stay sober for 6 months before we could start working on my traumas I felt so discouraged. I remember saying to my BF "how can she say 6 months?! That's so cruel, half a year without alcohol is totally impossible!" Well now less than 50 days away from that milestone. Never thought I'd make it this far.

In the first days I was still convinced I wasn't a "real" addict and I thought if I make it through November without a drink I could have a mulled wine on the Christmas markets as a reward. I didn't get the concept of alcoholism at all, I thought it was only the binging and the daily daytime drinking that had to stop and I could still have a glass of wine in social situations every now and then. Now I don't even feel like trying if that works.

Congratulations on 100 days, that's an amazing number isn't it?

I love it too, that I'm able to do something nice and creative to relax in the evenings now. Not just sitting on the couch pouring that wine.
