Smile 9 weeks today!

I am 9 weeks in and things are going well. I am learning how to socialize without alcohol and healthier ways to cope with stress.

Stress is a big issue for me right now because I am in an intensive post-graduate program this year. I also struggle with seasonal depression this time of year so I am glad to be on the path of sobriety and learning sustainable ways to manage my stress that don't involve ruining my life or my health.

To celebrate my sober time I bought myself some new gloves and earmuffs for this upcoming winter.

I need the support that I get from this forum to help me stick with my choice to be sober on a daily basis. I have broken the habit, now I just need to stay strong and find new things to help me thru life.
