90 days sober
90 days sober
I don't particularly keep a log of my sober days, I just tend to count them every so often and I noticed I was on 90 days today. I knew deep down this time was for good but I still had doubts that I would come this far.
On my way home from work I fantasized about drinking wine in the sun, i'm still thinking of drinking a lot but I have no desire to act upon these thoughts. Each time I think of drinking I think about what will happen if I take that first drink and where I'll end up. Ocasionnally my addictive mind tells me that because my DOC was alcohol I will be ok if I buy some coke. I'm clearly still having issues in which I need to sort.
I just watched a documenary on Steve-O which is about his drug and alcohol addiction and becoming sober. It was good to watch and relate and also to remind me exactly why I need to be sober.
This thread prob seems like a bit of rambling but I just wanted to share where I was at 90 days in. Also I don't go to meetings so I wanted to talk on here. Thanks to anyone who read this

Fantastic. I think the important change is knowing what a unstable fuse it is to light.
Even then I guess we have to be even more careful.
I'm sure you don't need me to pat you on the back , but congratulations.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! You don't know who Steve-O is? MAN! His story of recovery is INCREDIBLE! He was an actor on the show "Jackass". I'd strongly advise you to watch "Steve-O Demise and Rise".
If Steve-O can recover ANYONE can recover! His story is truly REMARKABLE. This guy came from the depths of insanity to become a completely different person! He truly is an inspiration for all recovering drug addicts and alcoholics!
Reason being, because I've NEVER seen somebody as blantantly hopeless as Steve-O.
I must warn though: Some of the footage in the documentary is pretty hardcore.
ALSO: OP, thanks for posting! 90 days is a great milestone! And I know the feelings of switching drugs that "aren't your problem."
I relapsed on marijuana 26 days ago, thinking "that wasn't my problem". Nothing drastically bad happened, but the writing was on the wall. It just doesn't work for me.
I hope you don't have to do this type of "research" and learn a HARD lesson the way I did! I had seven months when I was 21, and thought "a little bit of weed won't hurt". WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!!

That seems brilliant but, you see the buttons are right next to oneanother so it was easy.
Getting 90 days is HARD, so you must be.....BRILLIANT!

Way to go on getting 90, Jeans!!
I think you're doing great - I had thoughts of drinking for a long time, but like you, I countered them with thoughts of what it was really like to live that way. I spent the last year of my drinking wishing I could get sober (so how much fun could it have been?) Stay strong!

Congratulations Jeans!! 90 days is terrific! I'm right behind too and I'm pretty excited about it. Think of all the things there are to look forward to. One thing is a sober summer. Long evenings to actually do the things I enjoy, not veg out with a bottle of wine. Good for you.
