Smile 90 Days Ago

Good Morning SR family,

90 days ago today I was feeling lousy physically and emotional,y. I remember posting on here that I was going to make an appointment, and then anxiously posting as I waited for them to open.

The past three months have been an interesting journey, I feel like I have been reintroduced to a me that was hidden inside for a while. I have been enjoying my kids more than ever, easier without a hangover, and also remembering all of the little things I love about my husband that I sometimes took for granted. Also, I have laughed more in the past three months than in the past few years (several times at myself!)

I would not have gotten to this point in my journey without the support of my SR family. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to each of you, and from the number of posts I have on here you guys know I can be quite wordy!!

I need to especially thank Lola, we have been and will continue to be sober sisters along this journey, and I couldn't ask for a better partner.

Have a fantastic day!!!!!. .

Congartulations Delilah. I am not too far behind Lola and you . I remember how all of us felt when we first came here. Did we know then that we would feel the joy we feel today? I definately under estimated.

Congratulations. I have a lot less time, closer to three weeks, but I am catching glimpses of what life can be like if I am not drinking all of the time.

I think it takes a lot of faith, or desperation,for someone to give up something they think they love and need in order to change their life. I wasn't drunk or hungover quite often during the afternoons, and I still felt crappy and unhappy, or more likely, nothing at all. So that was the way life was, and I wasn't drunk at the time, so I didn't see what alcohol had to do with anything. I didn't know or understand, though I began to hear people, mostly on SR, talk about the fact that a person needed a length of sobriety to be free of the effects of alcohol.

Congrats again, keep it up, and thanks for sharing because there are lots of us out here that need to hear it.
