2.5 months sober

Can't believe it's been 2.5 months! (77 days to be exact) I will not lie and say it has gone by quickly. This is the longest I've ever been sober and I feel like I'm walking through molasses. Went through alcohol detox and a 2 month outpatient rehab program, all voluntarily. Now I am attending aftercare groups at the hospital and doing a lot of 12 step meetings. I am fortunate to still have a good job and my car, and I know that getting sober was the right decision. I guess I figured it would get a bit easier over time, but it's still very rough.

It does get easier. Just keep going to meetings. Do you have a sponsor? Be sure and get one. You are definitely on the right path. Congrats on 2.5 months.

Great job on 77 days! Not easy to attain, I know because I too am on my 77th day sober.

Thanks guys! That's cool SoberJohn, it's been a long grueling 77 days for me personally. I do not have a sponsor yet, that's kindof one thing I've been afraid of. I am not ruling it out but just haven't found the right person. Until I do, I know I am fortunate to have a strong faith in my higher power who keeps me going.
