New Personal Record
 

Today is day 72! I'm not going to lie, it's been a pretty rough ride. I do think though that this is going to be it for me. This forum has been a big part of me reaching this milestone. Also discovering what kindling is has really opened my eyes.

It's still a little overwhelming thinking that I'm never going to drink again, but I think that I'll just take a little time to get used to.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

That is great! What are you doing to stay sober?

72 days - how wonderful, iew. :)

Thanks!

Combo of therapy to address the underlying reason I drank (anxiety and OCD) and focusing on my distance running goals.

To ease the overwhelming feeling of never drinking again I say to my anxiety-you can drink again when you run a 100 mile race. Which if that ever does happen, by that time drinking will be a distant memory.

Good for you👍. I'm so pleased to read about your success.

Congrats.
 

Good for you.

good going, iew!

Fantastic! Keep it up. I changed my thoughts from never being able to drink again to never having to drink again.

Congrats iew :)
Remember there's always support here - noone needs to do this lone :)

One day at a time my friend. They add up. Slow and steady wins the race.
Glad you're here!

Nice Job on 72. The months is coming up soon!! Keep up the great work!!

Like Wayne said, one day at a time and Slow and steady. It's not a 100 yard dash it's a life long journey!

Congratulations!

Keep it up!
