30 days for me today
30 days for me today
It's funny because I've been thinking of hitting this milestone for a couple of weeks now, and now that it's here, it's sort of anticlimatic. Today is just a regular old day in my new life. I'm getting used to living a normal life without the drama and chaos of hangovers, emotional mood swings, depression, sneaking, hiding, guilt, shame and self-pity.
Oops..I hit submit by accident. I am glad that I'm not making too big a deal of this 30 day thing, because it's not like I've reached some goal and now I'm going to start drinking again. It's amazing how much my thoughts have changed, how differently I approach situations, both good and bad. I have a newly found inner confidence and even a little bit of peace. I'm am looking forward to seeing what else my new sober life brings And..I don't think I could have done it without all of you here on SR. I know you all "get it", and sometimes that's just what I need. To anyone just starting out, just take it one day at at time, it gets easier and life gets SO much better!
Congratulations, forabetterlife!
The most important milestone is 24 hours, with that being said, one month is huge!
That is the milestone that gives you hope that you can do this.
I am coming up on 1 year, but it's really 365 days because I celebrate every 24 hours.

Thanks for all the congrats! Now it really does feel like a big deal!
I guess what I meant is that I expected to wake up and feel all enlightened and have all the answers or something. But it feels more like one of many accomplishments along this journey.
Phoenix and artsoul, I agree...the first weeks were definately the hardest. I'm glad to have them behind me and it's a good motivator to NOT want to have to start all over and go through that again!

To me it's like a rollercoaster ride, some good days and some bad.
