60 Day C&S today

I have made it to 60 (10-13-08) and am thrilled that it was not as bad as expected.

I have read the Big Book 2x and have attended over 30 AA meetings.

I am not living one day at a time. For me, I put a stake in the ground and have moved forward without looking back or forward about ever drinking again. It is a mindset that works for me.

Constantly thinking about not drinking would drive me to drinking I believe. I have just removed the thought of drinking again out of my mind.

I just wanted to share my re-birthday with everyone.

Thanks, mac911

awsome mac

that is my birthday also! I think yesterday was my 60th day, but the 10/13/08 is the date of my last using.

keep up the the good work mac

yes i too think it's important to move beyond the "not drinking" mindset. sometimes that is the best i can do, but often times my thoughts are in other areas. so thanks for sharing that and your clean time
