2 months sober...grateful for SR!

Today marks 2 months sober for me. I feel like a new person!

Just a short 2 months ago, after my last bender, I was miserable and ashamed and just wanted to end it all. All I really needed to end was the drinking.

Now, I still have all of the problems and stressors of daily life, but can deal with them with a clear mind. Problem-solving has gotten much better also.

Just a quick post to thank deeker and all those that help with the 24 Hour Club thread, which has helped me to focus on one day at a time and stay the course. And I want to thank everyone else on this forum. Other than my family, SR is the only support I rely on...and I love you all!



To newcomers who are struggling....hang in there. It's tough at first but does get better. YOU are so worth it!

Whoohoo, LindaLou!

Saying goodbye to feeling ashamed is such a huge reward, as is the improved thinking!

Many congratulations!
