sheesh i had to search for this thread!


day 116 and going strong

Hey guys and gals. I haven't posted here in a long time, but I'm still on track and part of the class. I just spent some time catching up on the thread. I'm happy to see several of us having success.

When I finally made the decision to give up alcohol forever I remembered how much I used to enjoy other things. I've been on a strict running program that has me running my best times since high school nearly 20 years ago. I've also been attacking non-fiction books. Whenever I stumble upon a subject that interests me I grab a book from the library. I'm in the middle of reading books on all of our presidents. Fascinating stuff.

I could have never done this while I was drinking. I would drink so much that it would take 2 or 3 days for it to work its way out of my system, so exercising was difficult to fit in. Reading was out of the question, since remember anything I read while drinking was impossible. Not to mention that I was destroying my short term memory.

I don't spend nearly as much time on the internet anymore, but I'm going to find a way to squeeze this place into my weekly routine. It really makes me appreciate life.

119....

Welcome back tony :)

138 beautiful days! I am so grateful to be clean.

Tony, I loved your post!! It was beautiful! I'm so glad that you've come back (sober too!), and I hope you stick around these parts. Inspirational! :hug:

P.S. I'm going on a month long vacation to sun on the beaches of the Mediterranean, and I'm still not sure if I will have internet access there this year. If you don't hear from me for most of August, that's why! No plans on giving up, that's for sure. I love being clean. I'm supposed to be helping someone through their detox, so prayers for them (and me) for anyone who has a prayer to spare! Tons of love to all of you.

Huge and continuing congratulations to all of my fellow Marchers!

i'll start it all over again..you know..i was doing pretty good...

Haven't checked in in quite a while, but I'm at 138 days.

5 months I am free from alcohol :)

176 days clean.

I'm back from my trip, which really did a lot for my recovering mind, body and spirit. This process of healing isn't always easy, but it's a miracle! Everyday I have more opportunities to apply the new things I've been learning. I see everyday clean and sober as a blessing.

OZboy, I was very sorry to read that you relapsed, but I know that you did a very good, solid job of staying sober with us for several months, and I have every faith that you can do this. I really admire your honesty, and the amount of heart and caring you've shown around these parts is tremendous. My very best wishes to you. Huge hugs!!

:grouphug: :cheer :doggy:
