It really does get easier..

Today is day 88 for me being sober, I don't count the days and that much anymore but did today just to see where I am up to. I'm pretty much starting to turn back to my normal self, the anxiety is starting to go away and I'm starting to enjoy life without the drink. The first couple of months of being sober is really hard but it does get easier, I want to tell the newcomers that and to hang in there and don't give up. If you do fall, get back up and try again. It is worth it..

That's it!

I have and will stay in addiction treatment 'no matter what' and guess what it dose become more manageable as I learn new coping skills through the practice of recovery.

Yea, I count my daze, this time and for some silly reason it feels important. I had a dream where I was about to drink and I thought in my dream I'd lose my time so I didn't drink. Pretty cool. 94 daze and counting.
