Day 40 of being sober

40 days sober...I personally have been feeling great! I have grown to enjoy not waking up with hangovers or wondering about my actions from the night before or the amount of money I’ve spent because I knew how my day and night went because I was mentally present! I’m happy to have 40 days but at the same time, I know it’s only been 40 days so I look forward to my daily decision to not drink one day at a time. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

I needed to hear this positive message. I have 35 days today and yes I’m so glad I’ve not been sick, but also I’ve been stewing in a resentment lately and i really dont want it to drive me to drink.

That feeling will pass eventually by which time you’ll be a few days or weeks more sober. If you let this bad patch lead you to drink, you’ll be looking for a reason to drink the next time and the next. We’ve all been there.

I’m coming up for 6 months and had a few stressful incidents during that time. In the earlier weeks, the temptation to have a drink was overwhelming, but luckily I held off. A few months on, that temptation is in the background in times of stress but much reduced.

Well done on 35 days. Keep going 😀

Great job y'all!!

Actively working thru those resentments and things that crop up, especially early on, is really important.
