We haven't had much activity in this thread recently so I'll bump it.

Today is 90 days!!! I'm still going strong and liking my sober life.

Arbor

Well done jd!! Same here. Plugging away at sobriety even though at times I'm dealing with moods I cannot shake. Anyways, 90 for me too come the 14th. Enjoy the holiday season!

JD

I know the moods Arbor. I wish just getting sober would change those but that's wishful thinking. The good thing is you can start to work on those moods. While drinking I was just numbing them out. The hard part is patience. I want everything now but that's not realistic.

Arbor

Yes jd easier said than done. Sometimes I just say "that's just the way I am." I have every reason in the world to be happy.

I became a lot more emotionally constant after 90 days
This is not as good as recovery gets, guys - it gets better

Home after court. 1600 hundred miles and trial in four days.
Judge modified the parenting plan. All in our daughters favor. He got nothing he asked for.
Wow, sobriety and major issues dealt with. I can do this.
Christmas Eve will be my 90 days. Personal best in 14 months of reaching for a sober life.
Off to bake banana bread and sugar cookies with my grands.

JD

That's great 3wolves!

Arbor

Personal best! Nice work 3wolves!

The holidays are much more enjoyable without the booze for sure.

I'm glad things went well 3wolves

I'm learning just how much this court mess was wearing me out.! I woke with a Yoo-hoo attitude and it just stayed there!
I'm struggling with letting things go....no, it's more like learning to not get angry until I have done my due diligence. It's not always about me (for shame). Set the anger aside til the correct individual is in my crosshairs!
I'm still working on me.

Arbor

Hey guys! Checking in on this class. Doing well over here. Hope the holiday season finds you all well.

JD

Hey, Arbor. It's been a little slow in this class. But it looks like there are at least a few of us still going strong. Everyone, have a great holiday and remember what's important.

JD

I hit 100 days today. Yippee!

Arbor

Congrats Jd!!! Your doing awesome. What are some of the things you are doing?

I'm right behind ya.

JD

You're 2 or 3 days away, right?

I posted this earlier which has some of what I'm doing, http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...-100-days.html Also:

• My biggest motivator is stage of life. I'm going to retire at the end of Jan. and don't want to spend the rest of my life drinking. There are too many other things I want to do.
• I've gotten back into exercise. I belong to the Y and do 3 days of cardio and 3 days of weights.
• I rely on SR a lot.
• I've really gotten into mindful meditation.
• I'm doing a lot of introspective work on myself. Working on changing my mindset and thoughts about myself and life.

These are all things I should have done years ago. But it's too easy to get complacent and think "some day". Unfortunately "some day" turns into years. I've been very fortunate/lucky that nothing big has crashed around me. But that was just a matter of time.

I think you're a lot younger than I. I'm 57. If you can get this out from under you now you'll be so much happier.

Congrats JD!

And congrats to the rest of Sept. Ya'll are doing great!

Arbor

My sobriety date is the 14 of September, so yeah closing in on 100 or so. Thanks for filling me in on what's working for you. For me this is two years in the making. Took a long time to get to this point of commitment. And ultimately I'm glad I did.

Happy holidays!

JD

Congrats on 100 days sober Arbor! I quit in the 14th too. Have a great Christmas.

JD

I hope everyone here who celebrates it had a great and sober Christmas.

Dee74

You too JD
