Different this time

So tomorrow is the 2 month mark for me. 3rd time here over various different times anf for various reasons. But what's different this time is how i view the future. And for that i have to thank all the honesty, support and advice shared amongst all here on SR.

Life experiences that have resonated and helped me see where this goes. The shared pain for someone struggling that encourages us all.

During this 2 months I've experienced some of the deepest emotional pain in a long long time. But I'm still here and feel the glow of satisfaction....but not by my own strength alone.

Congratulations on 2 months......It isn't easy, particularly dealing with emotions without alcohol. But it gets easier with time as everyone says on SR. I am on day 90 today. Never thought I would manage it, and if it weren't for the support and advice of folks on SR I definitely wouldn't have got this far!
Take care.

Congrats, Bottletop:-)
I know that feeling - it's strange dealing with certain issues without the numbing effect of alcohol. But, like you said, we get through it.
Tomorrow marks 60 days for me - something I never thought would ever be possible.

I really think so. This time I was aware that my drinking was getting worse. Then another relationship break up. But a real loss. That brought me to stopping....but this site helped really open my eyes to what the choice was. Binary. Stop or into tje precipice. So grateful to have stumbled across it and been in a plave that i was ready to listen. Life is sooo much betterand i now view this as my new life starting not as having to lose out. I really geel that way. It's great.
