100 days

Well that went by pretty quick and I'd have to say things are back to normal life for the most part. When I was drunk all the time nothing got done, everything got kicked down the road to be dealt with another time, if ever. So now things are taken care of, everything paid, everything cleaned, no feelings of guilt, embarrassment, being what I call "numbly naive" (ignoring serious issues).

Still taking time to build up whatever needs to be built up to deal with issues/problems/stress while sober but its happening too.

Its a much better life like this than drunk. When drunk, at least for me I had to stay drunk to deal with anxiety but obviously that is not a sustainable lifestyle in any form. Its just not worth it to take what I now have and toss it away, I'll find the excitement elsewhere to fill that hole.

Congratulations and great attitude. I get the feeling you're going to maintain your sobriety which is, of course, a big deal.
I had to stay drunk to deal with anxiety, too. And you are so right, it isn't a sustainable lifestyle. It almost killed me.
And nothing meaningful ever got done with me either.
Now I deal with things as they come along. I like to think my house is in order.

Thanks for your post. You are definitely a miracle in the making.
Best to you in sobriety.

Great job! The 100 mark was a good shift forward in what I had been building and I hope it is for you too.

It indeed has, back when drinking I could barely drive the next day because it was so bad, now I have no care in the world aside from your normal day to day stuff - this was the feeling I envied when in the middle of that wild anxiety back then.
