Big nine 0
Good morning to all. And if you are reading this thanks for "coming back" I actually slept in today. 5:40.am and mind you I was laying down listening to AA recovery speakers at 7pm. I dont really watch TV. I havent watched it all week. During summer I like to be outside. Also I wouldnt say it triggers me but TV is good at putting booze in spot light feel me. Corona commercials etc. Well oh and happy Friday to . I guess I read around and the 90 day mark is some milestone? Well I tell you what for me it is a mile marker . as I do my daily routine. My journal .readings etc. Almost like a check list. However for me Sobriety isnt something I can check off my to-do list. It's not an equation to be solved. And although everything would be easier for me if it were those things, I'm learning to be patient on this wonderful journey. So now that I have reached mile marker 90. I still have a ways to go but I just take it one mile at a time. I also want to give thanks in this order first to my higher power cant say enough about him. My family for being there and believing in me. And props. To my SR family for all your words of inspiration . its Cool to be able to put your cards on the table. See what hand will work for us. I am learning on a daily basis. Life is good. Again if you want what I have you can get it. Its doable fulfilling all around cool points. And with that I will keep coming back

YAY....3 months! Congratulations you sound so good...I hope you have a beautiful "blessed" day...I think you should do something special for yourself today...You have earned it.
Yes, this is a milestone and one that brings temptation to MANY...also at 6 months and a year.....But the way you are "working" what works for you...I sense that you will be ok.
Thank you for sharing your story.

SoberRican, 90 days is epic! Go you!
I notice too how much you extend to others on this forum too. I am not a fellowship person but I have picked up a few phrases along the way and I believe there is one that goes something along the lines of 'we only keep what we have by giving it away'. To me, you embody that.

I've been following your daily updates, and for some reason decided I would reply on day 90. I've been waiting for it. I'm not sure why. Every day is a milestone. 90 is just one more day. I guess it has special meaning to me because it's somewhere around then where I reconfirmed to myself I would never drink again. It was a time where I had a clearer picture of a life without alcohol that lay before me.
Numerically 90 days is divisible by 10, but beyond that it's not exactly 3 months, unless it's January through March, and not a leap year. Prescription drugs are often sold in lots of 90. Ask for a three month supply and they give you 90 pills. What's with that? 90 days isn't even an even number of weeks. It's 12.857 weeks, and the decimals have to be rounded off because the calculator doesn't finish the calculation before it runs out of space.
So here we are, and congratulations. You've done well. What's next?

Good evening everyone . want to start by saying thank you all so much. Real talk. I am at a loss for words . really me? Lol. But for Real I guess 90 is a big thing in the recovery journey. I dont want to sound like I'm cocky or whatever. But I am really proud of me right now. . I started this mission on bare bones feel me. I had to build my strength physically and mentally. I learned and practiced the one day at time still practice it hey if it aint broke dont fix it right? Lol. Anyways I could on by right now I'm like really hungry and I am going to treat myself to a wonderful steak dinner with all the fixings. To celebrate this special day. Stay tuned I got another day for ya. And with that I'll keep coming back.
Enjoy your steak dinner.
