Day 794
I just wanted to let everyone who is struggling right now know that I am thinking of them today.
It is possible.
2 years, 2 months, 3 days, 14 hours, 27 minutes sober right now.
The sun is shining outside my window, the sky is blue. My house is clean and in order. There is money (not much, but enough) in my bank account. My cat is purring gently next to me. I am not having daily nosebleeds. My gums aren't sore. I'm not bloated and uncomfortable. I'm not covered in bruises. I haven't hurt or scared my loved ones. I know what I did last night: I talked to new people, without needing alcohol to give me courage. I attended an event where others consumed alcohol and I enjoyed my rhubarb soda. I feel confident and proud to say, "I don't drink". I'm looking at my options for studying to become a nurse. I'm planning a holiday for my upcoming 30th birthday and I am so excited to celebrate a new decade sober. Life is not 100% perfect - I still experience depression (although my anxiety has all but disappeared since I quit drinking) but it is manageable, rather than crippling.
I'm sorry if this is cheesy. But today I feel so grateful. I really was so sick and tired of feeling so sick and tired.
I am thinking of you. You can do this.

Thanks for sharing! I too have felt immensely grateful and that keeps growing- I sure liked it when the 100s started adding up! I dot track every single day but mark every few days in my calendar. Today is 917.
Keep going and adding them one day at a time!
