70 days
I have been sober 70 whole days. 70 whole bl**dy days....!
Alcohol is always in my thoughts but not in a "I'm desperate for a drink way" more a living with the fact it'll always be a part of my life, my recovery and my life depend on it. I used to despise the idea of recovery, aa, having a problem....being an alcoholic but it's what I am. Being okay with that is the biggest hurdle I've overcome.
Life is far far better sober. Im living when before I just wanted to get through the day, away from people and sit with my bottle. Hating my life and hating myself.
I've got a long long way to go but I've just got today. Today I'm living.
We are all strong. We all have to have faith we can do it.

Congrats on the 70! And don't worry- in the beginning of recovery I too felt like a victim, someone trying to get out of the clutches of alcohol. After a while I started feeling like a survivor. But eventually with a bit more sober time I feel like a conqueror!
I'm no longer content to meekly survive booze, I'm kicking it's a$$!
