60 days sober! Never thought I would see this.

60 days clean and sober for both my husband and myself.
After making it through those first few weeks (which were hell.... the cravings, the headaches, the withdrawls, and the emotions that weren't being numbed anymore)
My husband and I have found life again.
We will never look back, however we will never forget... those terrible, dark days of the past.
When we were on day 5, I truly never thought we would see day 6 much less 60....
You can beat this beast named addiction...we did it!
There is a light ... there is a LIFE ...at the end of the tunnel.
Stay strong...take pride in every hour you stay sober...they add up fast!!

Now that is what I'm talking about! You guys are blessed with each other and one in a million having alcoholism ruining you both and then both of you working to get away from it together.
