well i'll be darned...
My 120 days snuk up on me. My calandar reminder on my phone went off and i was really confused at what 120 Days meant at first. I thought it was next week at least. Looks like i'll be picking up another coin today! This month has been one of more spiritual awakenings. As i'm settling in to sobriety and becoming more comfortable with it, i'm finding that it's beginning to change parts of my life i didn't know it would touch. When i first decided to sober up, all i thought about was not drinking. While that's still the most important thing, i'm discovering that sobriety is so much more than that. I'm having profound changes in almost every aspect of my life. Physically, my health is vastly improved. Heck, i've dropped 20 pounds just from cutting out alcohol! For my mental health, i'm beginning to deal with other problems that were shoved under the carpet because my alcoholism was so rampant and the biggest deal at the time. Socially and economically, i'm meeting people and confident enough to look for a job! Mentally and spiritually i have been awakened. That has been the most unexpected and delightful gift sobriety has given me. I got my soul back. When alcohol was done with me i was a defeated, dead, empty shell of a woman with only the tiniest spark of life left. Through all my tools, AA, SR, rehab, therapy, medication and the love and support of an amazing, truly awe inspiring husband, i am 120 humbling Days Sober today. Thank you all for your support and fellowship. It will never be forgotten.

I can relate to all of that except for dropping 20 lbs, and an inspiring husband!
I couldn't believe how much God is working in my life. I call him, the Creative Forces, but we all know Him as God.
I ate when I stopped drinking so I am trying to get the weight off now, and my ex was in and out of being supportive. He said once I have a few months under my belt, then I can go back to drinking. He said that when I was 4 months! Well, he is now out of my life!!
I am so happy for you!! Keep up the good fight! I feel it is a battle for our soul. Alcohol or God, I choose God.

I'm going to pick up my coin tomorrow morning at the Unity Club where i started my journey and marked my first day of sobriety. It's an hour drive so a bit too far for my usual meetings but not too far at all for the important milestones. It'll be really nice to see the familiar faces again too.
