The untraveled path

Hi everyone

Amazing - I am still here🤪

Selebrating 4 months of sobriety.
This is the longest I have been without booze for, well I just don't know!
Since I started drinking probably.

I have broken my own record.😁

I am looking forward to what sobriety has yet to be unravelled in the coming months.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have helped me whilst I was on my knees and assisted me back to my feet.
Thanks also to the mediators for their good work acceptance, understanding and broad spectrum of knowledge. (And humour&#128076

I hope that my current and future sobriety will allow me to help and inspire others as you all have with me!

Thank you!

So many congratulations! I know the feeling. I never imagined I'd ever get around to stringing a couple months together. Amazing what happens when we admit our problem, get some support and live one day at a time. Treat yourself!

Thank you all

I have to admit it's nice to receive positive praise sometimes. It's quite a powerful tonic for the soul.

I have made the mistake of resetting the clock to zero previously, foolishly.
It was hell on earth for me
I only wish to move forward, to strip away the layers of the onion.

Awesome Dusti! 4 months already. WOW!

How are you feeling? Any change from last month? (I'm right behind you in time).

Hi Rar

Improving all of the time but it's hard to explain specifics really.

It's a general creeping improvement across the board from mental to physical.

I think the constant tension in myself abating somewhat from month 3 to 4 noteworthy.
I also think that my mental outlook is taking a welcomed change towards a more positive aspect, I am feeling glimmers of hope for the future!

As I said difficult to put into words.

I always put my positive face on and smile and interact with people, hi, hello,how are you, etc so that is all outsiders see however behind the smile I have felt empty/hollow and devoid of heart and emotional or physical will power. I have no idea why this happens upon giving up alcohol but I am glad to be on the other side of the valley now.
Hopefully it's up up all the way now😁
