30 Days and a 180 turn......
 
Today marks 30 days of not drinking....how quickly the days seem to string together, it seems like just yesterday I was in one of the darkest places a person could be in. I felt a myriad of things; alone, ashamed, frightened, anxious, desperate, and a million other things...but most of all, a slave to alcohol. It was totally running my life.

I won't go on about all the things I let booze do to me as most of you already know for yourselves.....instead I just want to say those old feelings have been replaced with freedom, contentment, confidence, calmness, and just plain serenity.

I just like my life better now. This is the best 180 I ever made.

Hugs to all.

Got me smiling tonight...good news.

Yeah....having a sober life is just so peaceful, to me. I'm just so glad to have the drama Greatly reduced in my life.

But, you know, I do keep a couple of horrific memories close at hand...I simply do NOT want to go back to that life. And if remembering some of the horror will do it, I'm on board.

I'm glad you have 30 days...we need you here!

Don't know how I missed this but..
Good Going VC !!
It's amazing how much better things get by simply not doing something huh?
Sounds easy, but we all know it's not a ride in the park.
