101 days sober :D
It's funny I actually thought today would have been day 100, but last night I checked my "sober time" on the forum calculator, and lo and behold I can't count so 102 today.
I've been thinking about what it's been like to get to this point, which seemed so far away and unreachable at day 1. It hasn't been a picnic. I've had some really bad days, I don't always post about them, but I come here daily to read. PAWS was really tough, and I wasn't sure that it would ever get easier, but it has I'm really glad I stuck it out.
I believe my biggest motivation is how crappy I felt about myself when I drank, WHY would I want to do that again?! I have contemplated picking up a beer every now and again, and think about how it will make me feel the morning after and how it will lead to more and more drinks, and eventually back to daily wine, and then daily bottles of wine. I can't do that again. In no way in my mind can alcohol be glorified either, I can't drink like "regular people", so I'm not gonna try to. I also know 2 people who are suffering with active liver disease, one died. I think of them often, especially when I'm having a really hard day or my panic overwhelms me.
I need to be sober for me.
Just my random thoughts today.
I think about you all everyday, and am so glad I found SR.
