70 Days!

70 days (10 weeks) sober today!!

My life is starting to move in a forward direction for the first time in many, many years. I am feeling good in the most part.
It is amazing how by becoming tea-total has transformed my life into something which is positive and relatively calm.

I have to remember to take things one step at a time. It is easy to want everything instantly just like booze gave me, but I have faith that everything turns out for the best as long as I remain sober, this is proving to be the case over the last 70 days!!!

Peace and Love xxx

That's why I am choosing to embrace this window of oppurtunity that I have of sobriety with wide-open arms.

I am extremely grateful that I have admitted 100% whole heartedly to myself (and others who need to know) that I am an alcoholic and that I have chosen to act upon this and make the decision to choose a sober life.

This has undoubtably saved my life.

I am 23 years old and was already racking up many, many black marks against my name in which trying to make a fresh start and build a new life would become increasingly difficult.

I feel I have gotten out just in time before it becomes impossible to get out due to having nothing to get out for. I undoubtably have the potential to go to a street drinker in the blink of an eye. I must never drink booze again to be sure of this not happening to me.

Congrats on 70 days. I'm 20 behind you. Keep it real.. You have your whole life ahead of you at 23. Wish I would have figured myself out enough 10 years ago at your age to go totally dry, but am incredibly grateful for where I am and the inspiration I get from posts such as yours. Post again at 90 days and I'll match your 70 from today!!!!

Good for you NEO!!! Sobriety has become for me the "safe calm haven" I always wanted, I tried to get here by drinking and just got further away.
