Day 50

When I started this journey to sobriety back in July, I marked off every 10 days on my calendar to make it easier to count my sober days.

When I got to day 60 I stopped. Day 60 will be my daughter's 17th birthday. My beautiful daughter who loves acting and singing. I went to her play on July 27th. A play she worked SO HARD on all summer long and was VERY proud of...I was so hung over at her play and I thought I might vomit in the audience (thank god I didn't). The night before the play was the last time I drank.

When I saw that day 60 would fall on her birthday (9/24) I thought it would be a great milestone to hit. Deep down I didn't think I'd be able do it. But here I am at day 50 and her birthday is only 10 days away. And I will definitely be celebrating day 60 and her 17th birthday sober. It feels really good.

Good morning. Congrats on your 50 days of no booze. Good for you😃 today is my youngest. Child 26 birthday. And my 133 day of no booze. Made me feel good to hear her say I'm proud of you daddy. . and you know what? I'm proud of me too. Wont get to see my kid today cause they have me working OT . she understands I still was able to send her a 100 bucks . which I wouldnt have had if I was still boozing. So yes very happy she is going to have a sober mommy for her special day. ✌

Congratulations! Sounds like you really value your relationship with your daughter. When your values trump your addiction, there is no addiction. Values and purpose motivate!

Congratulations on fifty days! That is awesome. And you've got some milestones to count your sober days. I think that's important so we never forget.
I quit on Christmas eve.
Best to you and your family.

I know it is not really funny but it is a bit funny to picture you hung over and nearly vomiting at that play. In any event, congratulations and perhaps years from now you and your daughter can have a giggle about this.

I know! It's the grossest possible scenario to vomit all over people in a crowded theater, lol! I hope to never test that out again.
