30 days!

Today I turned 33 and celebrated 30 days sober. I didn't plan to quit exactly a month ago, it was just the day the moment of clarity hit me.
This was my first sober birthday in 12 years. A month ago I couldn't even think about it. Not drinking anything on my day was incomprehensible. I just thought "one day at a time" (which I never understood before) and even last night I was still turning over in my head left field scenarios that could trap me.
I would not have made it to this point feeling so resolved if I hadn't found SR on my day 4 and spent so much time here every day since. I plan to stick around and continue to learn, heal and grow indefinitely. Thank you all so, so much!!
Laura.
