30 days

I pick up my 30 day chip tomorrow in aa. I attended my first meeting 29 days ago. I had my mom drop me off, I was so so desperate, and also physically couldn’t drive. I was shaking so bad in the meeting I couldn’t sign my name to the phone list. I was also dripping sweat, and could barely walk up the stairs to get into the meeting room. Two nights before I had decided for the ten millionth time that I needed to kill myself and finally be at peace, and take away the misery I was causing my family. I write this out only to remind myself how I feel now, compared to that day. Things are far from perfect. But I am not shaking, I am not sweaty, i am not throwing up, I’m not hung over, and best of all I haven’t once contemplated killing myself since I put down the drink 29 days ago.

Keep coming back and posting with us! And pick up that 30 day chip and majorly pat yourself on the back. It is a true achievement and gift. You can do this.

Thanks everyone. Today was good. I picked up my chip at my meeting this morning. I didn’t realize how emotional I would be. It feels so good to be in a room of people rooting for you. And thank you all for rooting for me too.

Awesome, congrats. Keep logging the sober time, push through when it's tough, enjoy it when it's good - it keeps getting better.
