SoberforMe has 60 days!!!!!!
I have 60 days today.
Whooo to the hoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
I thought last week I was going to die with the suicide of my friend. I made sure to feel my feelings and cry about it. I'm not done, but I didn't drink. Even my friend that's been sober for 15 years had his amazed face on when I told him on Sat.
I can't believe that I've been sober for 60 days through many shows, my birthday and my friend's death. It really is amazing to me and I am so happy!
Note: I have had vocal problems for 10 years. My singing voice has improved considerably. I think that a lot of my vocal problems were caused by drinking.

Besides my time now....I only achieved 60+ days one other time.....60 days is a wonderful achievement. I am proud of you. I am glad you have found the positive aspects sobriety has to offer....sometimes they can be hiding in the bushes somewhere

I just want to put a note out for all of those that are on day 3 and feel like they won't get better.
Me at day 60 feels about 1000 times better than I did the first day I walked into an AA meeting. I felt shamed, hurt, and very hungover.
I'm finding the positive in sobriety because I HAVE to. I can't control this and going back to drinking is not an option for me. Believe me, if I could have continued I would have. It is true what they say in the big book “He cannot picture life without alcohol. Someday he will be unable to imagine life with or without alcohol."
I still look fondly at a glass of wine and sometimes it is hard. But every day I wake up and I didn't drink the night before feels like an accomplishment. Every day when I look at the fridge and don't cringe looking at the bottle from the night before, or see a friend and don't worry about what they think about the last time they saw me drunk, feels wonderful.
It feels like freedom.
Thanks everyone for your support. When I say I can't do this without you, I mean it in the most basic way. Because without this site I wouldn't have realized I could do it.
