30 days today

With hard work I made it through the worst/best month of my life. For that I am grateful. Someone had a great story in my beach meeting yesterday, and it really gave me some new and positive reinforcement. He said, "don't quit before the miracle happens". Life opens the doors to so many possibilities in sobriety, things you never imagined you could do or that would happen when you were in the dark hole of alcohol. I feel every time I went back out there, I lost the opportunity to find my miracle. If I ever go back, I will never find it. With every sober day I live, I am discovering new things and know that something great is going to happen, which it might! What I get in the meantime is just as wonderful though. Every day I wake up sober and healthy, THAT is the miracle! Have a good Sunday

Lovely post, Lucie and many congratulations on 30 days

And I've found that there's way more than one miracle in sobriety!

Congrats Lucie,
I've just hit 28 days today and have also had a rollercoaster month although this week have felt so much better and the knock on effects have been healthier eating and plenty of exersise. I have also had a couple of people saying how well I'm looking. I still have frequent thoughts about drinking but I can now control them and let them pass.
Sundays are no longer a day of laying around feeling sorry for myself but a day to be enjoyed. Thanks to all on here, even when I'm not posting, your threads and experiences help so much.
