Day 16 of sobriety. I have never been happier. I have no thought about a drink. Im feeling so blessed to know myself. The real me, The sober me. Im such a better person now and I can see it. Im keeping positive. Im not coming on here this much anymore and I guess deep down i feel bad. Like Im not coming on here is hurting. I have found this blog to be so inspirational and helpful.Just wanted to check in with you guys!!!

Come day 17!!!

Thanks for checking in & it's great to hear you're doing well!

I found it's good for me to post to SR often, so that when bad times or using thoughts creep up unexpectedly, I know right where to go. But the great thing about SR is, you can use it whatever way works best for you!

I'm on Day 15 and I am getting to know the real me. I am a little shocked and surprised when the person I am is so nice, friendly and polite. I have actually surprised myself, as if I am possessed by some strange entity. I have these thoughts, did I actually do that? Like when these ladies realized there was a line and they had gone ahead of me by mistake and I said "don't worry about it"...I feel like, what? who the heck is that nice person? because I haven't seen her for so long, I forgot she existed.

Congrats! I will be where you are at tomorrow! hopefully you will always be one day ahead of me! (and I one day behind you...)
