How many days have you been sober?

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks without a drink and I'm feeling great about that! What day are you on?

Three weeks is awesome. I remember how great I felt when I finally made 21 days.

I'm a couple hours from 856 days (had to do some math), and I still feel great about every sober day.

Congrat DeanChev on your 3 weeks. Sometimes I think those first few weeks and months can be the hardest of sobriety so what you have done is quite an achievement.

What day are you on?
I am on today. I don't say that to sound sarcastic, I say it because that is how I try to look at my sobriety and for me that has worked into adding up to a few yesterdays but my most important day is always today because it is the one that opens the door to my future either being brighter because I don't drink today or darker because I do pick up a drink today.

Anyway, congrats again. I wish you many more today's.

I'm very inspired by how long some of you guys have been sober, even into the thousands of days. I hope to be in that same bracket! Thanks everyone on the congrats!

I have been sober uite a few days but it doesn't seem long at all compared to those first 21 days. I never thought I would last that long, such a long time 21 days, until an old timer said "one day at a time".
