10 months!
 

Wow, it feels pretty crazy to be able to say that I have been sober for 10 months. Not long ago, that seemed like such an unrealistic expectation but here I am... 2 short months away from an entire year!! Incredible. It feels like "just yesterday" and "forever ago" both at the same time.

I can't begin to explain how much better I feel physically and mentally. I still have a lot of things to work on... there were many events over the course of my drunken stupor that I never gave "proper attention" to. One of the many downfalls to drinking is shutting yourself off to almost everything emotionally. While this may "sound like a good idea at the time", it is (in reality) absolutely terrible and, in the end, we are usually forced to deal with the things that we neglected... sometimes months or even years later.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy and sober weekend!! :)

Congrats!
Can you share what it was that helped you stay sober the most? Was it support from AA?

Congratulations JensDestiny, 10 months is brilliant :You_Rock_

Thank you hun. Sheer determination. I wish there was more to it for me but I haven't attended any AA meetings. :(

Good for you! I want a sober life too! I'm determined today!

You deserve it!! I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to do it alone. I would recommend doing whatever you can find that works for you. Everyone is different. The obstacles don't stop or go away after a few days or even a few weeks but the rewards are so much better when you don't give in. :)

Way to go on 10 months Jen
