61 days sober, a personal best

Today is my 61st day in a row sober. Every day after today will be a personal best. That feels pretty good! Here's what I've been doing to stay sober: AA meetings, weekly sessions with my drug & alcohol counselor, Vivitrol injections & SR reading. I've noticed over the past 2 months I'm starting to enjoy some hobbies I had lost interest in after being pretty much replaced by alcohol. I feel physically better but most importantly mentally better, much sharper. I'm also more confident and relaxed. My friends and family seem to be pleased with my progress as well. Overall, my little bit of work has been paying off big time.

Congrats!

Seems like you have a lot going on to maintain things.

I had replaced a lot of my hobbies with drinking too. Now I have even more interest in them now that I'm sober.

Great job once again!

Zackman,

Great post -- great perspective.

Have you accepted the never again part -- for me that was the key, and took awhile, but you will get there.

Congratulations.

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Awesome Zackman.

I cannot wait for my 60 ( about 45 more days for me).

Way to go!
