60, this time was different!
Today i hit this milestone. And yes, this time was different than any other many tries in the past.
During this sobriety i thought about alcohol many times, i had entire weeks when i starred at bottles of beer on my monitor (at my work, don't ask
, but not even once did i looked at them with lust or wanted to drink them.
And today it just hit me. I don't fantasize about alcohol anymore!
Something changed inside my mind, i don't know how, but i'm glad and grateful that it happened. Maybe it is connected to my change of philosophy, to stop pursuing instant pleasure and go for bigger rewards in life.
Nothing happened until now though, i'm still kinda skinny, i work in the same place, still not much money, still pretty alone. I guess is still too early for the results to show.
But hey, i have something that i hadn't 60 days ago: 60 days of sobriety!
Thank you all, you were a source of motivation and great advices! I wish many days sober to all of us!!

Thank you for your support, i like the fact that i can share and be happy with someone.
About the "click"...
In 2012 i hit rock bottom 2 times, in 2013 i hit it 4 times. Each time deeper and deeper. None of those stopped me.
Since 25 december 2013 i tried continuously to get sober. Had 12 days, slipped 2 days, had 8 days, slipped one. Hadn't more than 3 days of drinking, but hadn't more than 14 or 15 days sober.
For me, hitting rock bottom wasn't enough to change my mindset.
And it took me nearly 3 years to understand the fact that we are good at the thing that we practice everyday.
I wish many of those who think that if something bad is going to happen, it will change their lives will understand this sooner than i did.
Best regards!
