9 Months Today!
Yay for me! (just had to pimp myself, especially since I am not good at saying good things about myself).
I am a sobotage drunk, so I have historically had my worst times when I have done something good, and with sobriety dates I always get wiggy around them. It was no different on this one.
I was sober for 3.5 years and relapsed in April of 2015. Recovering and getting back on track was beyond brutal and hard for me, which really reinforces in me that I might not have any more relapses with recoveries left in me. I can't drink again.
My new sober date is July 10, 2015. Not counting the days this time, not really sure why. I counted every day on my last trip of sobriety. Maybe I am not wanting the daily reminders and pressure as acknowledgement days approach.
If I can keep from drinking before tomorrows meeting, I will pick up my 9 month chip for the second time.
I really admire all of you (us) that are involved in this daily battle, whether this is your first day or you have many years. I now have full respect that no matter how much time of sobriety that I have, I am one drink away from not ever returning again.
I have never been able to drink just one since starting this journey. Really, the first sip it like I lit a fuse that can't be put out.
Thank you for letting me pimp myself today. :) |
