Onto new ground...Day 55.
Hello everyone. Today marks 55 days of continuous sobriety for me.
This is new ground...The furthest I've got in my previous attempts was 54 days and then the inevitable happened.
I convinced myself i could drink again...And it nearly destroyed me.
Today i'm trying to craft a new way of living. One FREE of the obsession of drinking. That's what it was for me.
Obsessing over when i could...How much i could...When the house would be free...When no one would know...
Looking back...That was a terrifying way to be living. How i held on to my employment and girlfriend i really don't know.
I'm glad to be sober today. Everything has stabilized and improved in my life.
This is how to live. This is how i want to live the rest of my life.
Sober i stand a chance at a happy content life.
I hope everyone is OK today. Don't give up on yourselves.
We are NOT lost.

Very inspiring Finding - much of what you wrote about the feeling of sobriety (stability, a happy content life, etc.) really resonates with me. Btw, my previous record was 50 or so days - plan to shatter that one soon enough! Thanks for sharing.
Do your best

new territory is exciting; congratulations!
may i suggest the new territory include dropping the idea that going back to drinking is inevitable
it's not.
keep going.
