One hundred days sober is great, FishingDude!

When I first got sober I couldn't imagine never drinking again. But I grew and changed and now I can't imagine drinking again.

The best advice I ever got about recovery was when I was just about where you're at now, around three months sober, and I wasn't "feeling it". I was told to practice gratitude every day. At first it was hard as I was in early recovery and wasn't feeling that great, still depressed and feeling lost. But I did it anyway, and I found that the more things I noticed/was grateful for, the more things there were to notice and be grateful for.

It makes me happier too. Give it a try. We even have a Gratitude Forum, where you can post on any number of threads, or start your own.
