Smile Today is 90 days!

Relapse after relapse, things never seemed to quite click for me. I thought recovery was simply abstaining from alcohol and just getting over the consequences of problems that occurred while drinking. I now know that is only the very tip of the recovery iceberg. I am finally discovering the real me and what it actually means to LIVE life! I have had some truly rough days though. Nearing the 90 day mark has been especially rough, which I have heard that the early milestones can be. My emotions are a little out of wack. But all I can do is observe and learn from it. SR has been the biggest help in my recovery plan. You are all wonderful and strong people! Thank you friends

The tip of the recovery iceberg ... I like it!
