Guess What..

I'm feeling pretty good today. Tomorrow is my birthday and I'll be 27 days sober on my 27th birthday. Not planned, that's just how it worked out. Perhaps it was meant to be?

This month has been a huge rollercoaster but sometimes I take a step back and realize that I'm forgetting to be proud of myself. I get so sucked into the changes and the emotions surrounding them that I forget how big of a deal this is in my life. I forget that I NEVER thought I could be doing what I am doing right now.

I know there is still a long road ahead and there will be many bumps along the way, but today I'm going to remember to be proud of myself. And I think other people need to keep this in mind too. I know it's been a long time since I was truly proud of something I did.

My typical birthday would be spent getting wasted early on and not enjoying the day at all. This one should be pretty nice, it's a great change of pace. Thanks to everyone who offers their wisdom to me. I owe a lot of my success to this forum.

Happy B-day BCS
Good thinking for your 27th. I spent my 30th sober and it was still a blast!
