100 Days
For some reason this milestone hit me hard.
I am so filled with immense gratitude for my new life. For the people it has brought me and for what it has removed, and replaced.
I understand more and more who I am and what is good and bad for me. And I can walk away from the bad and cultivate the good. I am getting to know myself.
I was broken, overwhelmed 100 days ago. But less and less I am thinking of the mess and dwelling more on the solution. Because I found it. It is there for the taking and there for the living, if I work it.
I see that by getting out of Self, I am able to heal myself. I am being gentle with myself, not committing to anything that does not serve my higher purpose, my sobriety. This year I will not do more than heal, I can give myself that. I can give time, time.
There is time for everything that sobriety has in store for me, and patience, balance, peace will open up those doors that are already ajar for me, have always been opening for me.
I just had to surrender, to gain a new way of life and all of the gifts it has and will continue to bring to light.
For this I am so grateful and I will not be selfish. I will share my journey with someone who is sick. I will pour from a full cup and put my oxygen mask on first, so that I may better help someone who needs it.
I will be better, every day and I will fight for this.

100 days is important, but for some reason, I want to congratulate you on your attitude instead of the sobriety time. You've got a great attitude, and I think this is most important. 100 days is about the past, but your attitude will take you into the future.

And Nic- 100 days was my remarkable first "big shift" in many ways, too. I've actually had "odd" experiences with predictable markers. Like 10 and 13 mo were way more exciting than 12
I started thinking of things as "the 100s" as I got into the place you are and are headed. This is just brilliant!
