102-day shout-out 
Hey y'all,Just wanted to shout out on my 102nd day sober after a 20-year drinking career and say that I'm already amazed and nowhere near halfway through!
I am so grateful to be sober today, and although I still bump up against demons every single day, they don't seem as ferocious now.
I recalled today that last time this year I was in my apartment during the holidays, broke with no money to visit friends or family, and I actually made the decision every day to spend my loose change on booze and cigarettes rather than food.
This Christmas I am spending tons of time with friends, have plane tickets and a rental car to visit my family in Florida, and have more money in the bank than I ever have in my entire life.
It hasn't been an easy road getting here. It took 34 days of rehab for me and not feeling right at all during the subsequent 2 months. But I am seeing a definite pattern where the good days are outnumbering the bad ones and becoming more frequent. I still have bad ones, but I feel more and more capable each time of getting through it without resorting to my old behavior.
Thanks, all.
