It is officially 30 days for me!

So it's officially day 30 for me!!

I was reflecting on that fact and realized that I have not had 30 consecutive days of sobriety in over 10 years!! That sh*t cray.

My sponsor, AA, my sober network, my higher power, and SR are how I've made it to this point. Sobriety for me is becoming a way of life! I am changing the way I'm living, the places I'm going, the people I hang around, and I am seeing RESULTS!

I am not only sober, I'm in RECOVERY. I have been working really hard to make it this far, I've seen so many positive results, I'm having a blast, and I remember it all! I feel like I have been introduced to myself for the first time, and I actually LIKE who I am!! That has never been the case.

On my worst day I was really upset over a family matter and it was too late to call anyone, so I shared on SR. I received immediate support and positivity, which got me through the evening. What's mind-blowing to me is, even on my WORST day of the past 30 days, in the midst of a breakdown, I was grateful to be sober!

Shoutout to my September, 2013 class for being the awesome sober supportive rock stars that you are!!

Although having 30 days of sobriety feels AMAZING, I never want to have 30 days again! I hope to continue onward and upward, one day at a time.

Much love and thanks to everyone on this wonderful site!!! I am so proud of myself, so grateful have found SR and to be in this skin!!

Okay, I'm done rambling...the orchestra is starting to play!

Congratulations Brooksie, that is just fantastic. I'm playing in that orchestra to celebrate your success. And I love your posts, even the ones full of things I don't understand like po boys, catfish and American sport! Your feelings today are inspirational; you are right to feel proud of yourself.
