30 Days.
 

I did it. This is the longest I've stayed sober in at least 10 years. A lot of water has gone over the dam in the last month. I'm a superstar all week long, but weekends can be a bit sketchy yet. Gotta stay diligent.

I am cleaning up my diet a lot more, started running again, planning on a new PR at a 5K race in another month. I can tell my wife knows somethings up... amazing how a spouse responds when an addict sobers up and stays that way. But I still have work to do, prolly always will...

Plan to reward myself somehow, not sure what yet. Perhaps some new running gear?

ETA: This makes 300 posts on SR!! (I didn't try that!!)

Well done Steve, keep it up :You_Rock_

Hooray! Go, you!

Definitely new running gear!

Great going Steve - congrats :)

Congrats on a month Steve. You've been doing a great job of staying in front of the issues that pop up and coming here to discuss them, keep it up!

30 days - how wonderful, Steve. We knew you could. :hug:

And here I thought I was starting to **** everyone off with my threads!!

Great job, Steve!! Keep it up!!

You're doing GREAT Steve, keep it up buddy. Congrats on 30 days man, that's AWESOME!!!!

Fantastic Steve!! :You_Rock_

Congratulations! Today is #30 for me, I'll be there tomorrow :)

:You_Rock_

get some vibrams ;-) :)

good job on the 30 days!!

careful with the running it gets expensive lol. I started into it years ago it seemed so simple now its a new found addiction and money spend on gear and treadmills etc.. lol.

but hey its STILL cheaper then my booze habit ever was so what can i say.

Try cycling.... money can get spent in a hurry!! When my wife complains (which isn't often) I tell her I could always buy a race car or a motorcycle.

lol yeah cycling can get super expensive i hear. i talke dto one guy said he new a guy had over 100k in bikes in his living room.

My rbother in law races bikes and cars its rediculous the money spent. so yeah it coul dbe worse your right lol.

Great job Steve! Sounds like you're doing really good :)
I love running too. Can't do it much, but glad to hear you're finding healthier ways to cope.
I hear you about weekends being sketchy. I find them tough at times too.

Congratulations on your 30 days sober.

I understand these millstones for the sober one. I remember looking back and thinking the same thing -- this is the longest that I have been sober in a very, very long time. It's a nice feeling and something to hold tightly.

Regarding your wife -- I often say here.
A Happy Queen makes for a Happy King.

Enjoy her as she will now that you are sober enjoy you more.

well done!!

Congrats, Steve, on your 30 days.

I sure hope you stick around and don't drink again.

My sober life has been infinitely better than the garbage life I had when I was a drunk.

As an aside, I have also been spending money on running gear as of late.

But I'm putting it to good use.

Awesome!!
