Day 100... and Stronger Than Ever
 

As of today I have been sober for 100 days - I can't believe I made it to the triple digits!

Over the past 100 days, I've
read a lot: about my disease so that I can arm myself with the tools to heal
thought a lot: about the 5 W's - who I am, what I have done, when I became the way I did and when will I feel completely normal, where am I today and where am I going, why I needed to change my life, how I will get to where I need to and am supposed to be
cleaned a lot: my house, my body, and my head
cried a lot: to mourn the life I left behind, and to deal with the pain I covered up with self medication
laughed a lot: because sometimes laughter is the best and only medicine

It feels like forever since I made that all important decision to save me from myself. But 100 days is just a drop in the bucket of a life that has yet to be lived. I have so much more work to do. More reading, thinking, cleaning, crying, and laughing.

Every time I have made a major change in my life, be it moving to a new city, starting a new job, and the like, I have always done it with the following saying in mind "Never go back to where you came from." Of all the changes I have ever gone through, this saying has the most relevance for the changes I am making now. Each day I have more momentum than the last to keep pushing ahead and to clear the new path I have chosen to take.

It's not been an easy journey, but it is a great journey. I'm so happy and thankful that I started it and I fully intend to finish it.

Thanks to all of you for helping me find my way.

Hey Omega! Great post. If I figured it right....I am at day 97....I did not even realize that I am almost in the double digits also!

I don't have much to say except that your post came at a really good time...because I was having a really bad day. You just gave me a big hit of inspiration, and a lot to think about.

Thank you and congratualtions on your 100 days! That is awesome O.
