In my case, only 28 day inpatient could show me what sobriety was. I have 56 days today and I am REALLY looking forward to getting my 60 day chip. I finally have let go of ego (that was as tall as the ceiling). I still have an ego at times, but awareness is a gift I will not let go of. My ego kept me from telling the truth and asking for help. With that cripling sense of false pride GONE, I am getting the help I truely need. A psychiatrist for my OCD, outpatient, group therapy with fellow union guys (that really helps me get over my ego) and a meeting a day. Meetings are no longer a chore, I feel free.

With that said, I am always reminding myself that this program is work. At inpatient my "job" was to clear my head and be aware of myself and my past. The work continues everyday. Love all you guys and gals on SR.

Hi Dom,

It's great to hear from you!

It sounds like you're doing really well and yes, it does take work every day.

Thanks for the inspiring post, Dom. Yup, it's hard work, but well worth it!

I love that you refer to it as true sober time...it really makes a difference when you start walking the walk instead of talking the talk, doesn't it!?! I didn't know you before, but I can tell you have finally gotten the message, and know what it feels like to be truly sober! Blessings and Congratulations!

Great job..you are a "TRUE" inspiration to people like me still struggling to even get past day one.
Keep it up.

Dom

Thanks to this program I have learned that I am not terminally unique. When I began to care about myself, I realized that many people cared about me. Have a great day everyone, and take care of yourselves.

Dom

Almost 3 months sober!!! I am sleeping well, and eatting much better. Continuing with all of the self-help that I do, if it's working why stop? Thanks SR for all the help.

Thank you all very much! I have 90 days today, I got a temporary sponsor 2 days ago and I am speaking today at 1 of my favorite meetings. Not by coincidence, my favorite meetings are the smaller ones. Can't wait to get my 90 day coin!

Rowan

Woo hoo! 90 days! Fantastic, Dom!
