113 days sober

I look amazing, I feel great aside from being incredibly lonely

I'm taking the steps to accomplish things that wouldn't be happening if I still drank, finishing undergrad, applying to law school

But god dayum do I still have fantasies about drinking again down the line in the future when I develop more social circles from work and school

Congratulations!

I cannot help on the fantasies, I have no experience of that as I've never made it that far, but I'm sure there are some experienced people out there who will soon?

I am 109! Congratulations!

I have had people tell me I look great also, even though I have gained weight. It is amazing what alcohol does to our looks.

Sometimes I have a fantasy I guess. I have a picture of me sitting on the white sand beach sipping alcohol. I just sigh. So ideal. Yeah it looks like a dream because it is. In reality I would be sunburned , dehydrated, and groggy. I lived in Florida for 5 years and stayed hammered through the whole thing. Ended up divorced.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I remember when you first posted here. Planning to go to Vegas after rehab. You defied the odds. No wonder you are good at gambling! Happy for you.

Well soberbrah, it's been my experience with fantasies in general that they are way better in the head. How they actually play out in real life never really matches the fantasy...just sayin'

Glad you're lookin and feelin good.

Congrats on your 113 days. I agree with soberlicious, keep those fantasies in your hear, or better yet, out, if you can help it. Keep up the good work.
