40 Days in!
Hi all!

Not a huge 'milestone' #, but for sure the 2nd longest I have ever gone in my life not drinking- I hit 40 days sober today- Yippee, haha!

Thank you, all of you here on SR, for being there, every day and every time, in my moments of joy and my moments of struggles.

Ya'll rock!

I can't wait to post Day 60 next! Wish me luck I make it there!

"40 days" has significance as a length of "practice period" - whether for fasting, prayer, etc. - in many spiritual traditions.

Our cultural emphasis on increments of months is related to our super-consciousness of the calendar.

I grew up believing that the time period of 40 days was extremely powerful.

Congratulations, Hobbers!
