Day 36. Back on that...*cloud*
Yeah so today makes 36 sober days in a row. And i'm at the point where i'm building up sober days pretty easily it seems.
Drinking is NOT an option. Not now. Not ever.
Feeling good. Feeling great about recovery. Being a PART of recovery now and i'm enjoying the benefits. I'm enjoying my life again.
Funny how that works. Stop drinking and your outlook on life improves...
Anyways. I've got confidence back. I guess you could call this the pink cloud stage perhaps...I've felt this before. And i KNOW it's not ever lasting.
But i'll enjoy it while it's here. I also just signed a lease for a new apartment for this coming January. I'll be moving in with my wonderful GF who has been a beacon of hope for me. And has stood by me through my ups and downs.
Drinking will NOT take her away from me. Because i will NOT drink again.
Simple as that.
Just rambling now...Happy to be here. Happy to be alive.
God Bless you my SR friends. I hope everyone is having a safe and sober day.

Well struck FindingtheWay!! Keep it up!!!
I had a gent in a meeting ask me awhile back - How many day's have you been sober for? Proudly answer him - 60 days!
Great!
How long do you need to be sober for? He asked as well.
Ummm, well - The Rest of My Life!! I replied defiantly.
Great!!! Think you can do that???
Certain, I hope and pray......
Later that night I was watching TV and thought of the guy. How long do I need to be sober for??? What a bizarre question. We have group members on paper (court issued etc for x number of meeting) so I thought maybe he meant that. No, that's not it.......
Then it hit me, the real answer!!!!
TODAY!!!!!!
