3 months sober today

So it is finally day 90 today and this brings me to the 3 month mark of sobriety. It feels like a huge step, and things are vastly different in many ways.

While it hasn't always been easy.. every day sobriety has become better and easier bit by bit. Sobriety is becoming a new normal.

Also, one of the best things is that the brains seem to operate much more effectively after this time. Things are easier, definately. Keep it up.

By the way, I'm also on day 6 without nicotine, and I highly recommend the book 'Easy way to stop smoking - Allen Carr' because it really is the truth. It's all there in the book. I used to read it once, stop for a few days and then succumbed back to smoking. It is evident I didn't fully understand and think about what I read at that time. Highly recommended.

Congratulations UnixBer, what a lovely post to read And well done with the smoking so far too! That's definitely something I'd also like to cut down once I get the drinking under control.

Well done, Unix. Well done. I can't wait for sobriety to be my "new normal" too. Your post gives many of us yet another reason to stay sober.

Huge congrats UnixBer! I am so very happy for you. I remember some of those hard days for you. You made it through Season 1 (I like to break my sobriety into 3 month chunks just like seasons). I too have been working on quitting smoking in Season 2. I'm weaning down on patch. I read the Carr book years ago. He's a wise one. His "Easy Way to Quit Drinking" was extremely helpful to me in sobriety.

Anyways...back to YOU! Nice work.

Congrats I'm on 5 and am already wishing it was 90. I never like to wish my life away but when it comes to this I am hoping for a healthy fast forward. But awesome job.

Congrats, how were things from 60 days to 90 days in comparison to 30-60? Out of curiosity.
