Haven't posted for a few days but still staying busy and hitting meetings just about everyday. Its become habitual at this point. May not go tomorrow just so I can get some things done and spend time with fam.

Its been 52 days completely sober (53 since the last drink). Considering how I drank that is pretty surprise to myself. Lord willing the progress will continue.

The phrase that is said over and over and over again in meetings "one day at a time" (or just for today) use to irritate me. I wanted to had been sober for 3 or 4 years. But that time is built on seconds, mins, hrs, days, etc.

The continuous present is all I can deal with. The cannot be re-written and the future has yet to come.

Am I completely happy...no. Could things be better...yes. However, if I was drinking they could be way worse.

For anyone that wants to see the way I value 1 day sober, this is my mind thinking about what 1 day can do:

MIP (1 day); DUI (1 day); 2nd DUI (1day); Lost trust with family (1 day); lost job (1 day); lost relationship (1 day); lost friend (1day)

1 day can change your life for years. So for me, 1 (and each day) sober is pretty important.

Good luck to everyone and thanks!

Hi TNTStill, congratulations on 52 days.

I'm still counting days, but I'm looking forward to counting months.

Years? Maybe someday. I have 23 years since my last cigarette.

A good way to look at it. A day sober is a day not causing pain for ourselves and the ones around us.
