A while ago, while running on a not familiar path I came upon an old abandoned factory building--completely in disrepair-no windows left, just the shell of the building covered in graffiti. It was really eerie, even in the morning.

Yup. Hope you can find some peace and joy (more so) this holiday season, Sam.
Day 264 and I'm feeling freakin great today. One of those days where it just feels good to be sober. I'm putting in work in other areas as well and I feel like I'm climbing higher.
I figure I post a lot when I'm po'd or not feeling great so I should post when I'm feeling good.
It's worth it. Keep pushing through the suck when it comes.

Hey guys--no matter how stressed I am it's amazing how much better I can deal with everything being sober. Work, personal stuff, holidays, my washer dying, etc...all much easier to handle.
I feel more like me. Or I feel more solid with who I am, hard to put this into words, hopefully you get what I mean.
Day 240!

We've given it this much time. We might as well see where the road goes. Great job! You as well, LB!

Life is definitely easier to meet on its own terms when you are in the present and not hiding away from it behind a bottle. When I think of all the times I avoided reality and let things get bigger and tougher because I was hoping they would go away, I realise how much better it is to actually adult and deal. Yeah, life will still throw cr4p your way at times, and yeah, it will be tough but each time you get through a situation sober and in control, you get stronger.
It's so good to see so many here cranking out those sober days

Day 163 ODAAT
Life really is easier sober. This time of year many are stressed out with Christmas coming. My stress is not about Christmas so much as we always get a long shutdown every year now and in the summer. Before shutdown I work ten hours six days a week to prepare for it. It is so much easier sober.

I feel like I have been doing well putting together my days without drinking. I don't think I am at the point where I would use the term easier. I was mostly functional when drinking...and I maintain mostly functional in sobriety. I do appreciate having less stress being a lot more clear on the events of the previous day.
