60 Days - Thanks All!
It's now a new day in my time zone, which means I have 60 days! I just had to share it with all of you, because without you, I know I couldn't/wouldn't have done it. So, it's as much OUR victory as it is mine.
I was trapped in a cellar of my own making, alone and thinking that's where I wanted to be. I could barely look people in the eyes anymore knowing that I was either hungover or planning my next drinking period. There was nothing I looked forward to more than being left to myself and my poison. I thought I enjoyed not feeling things, but numbing the bad also erased the good.
After 60 days, I've discovered my spirit and soul again. Yes, I was there all the time underneath the fog! Today I actually like myself and I am showing myself love for the first time in years, which is starting to extend itself out to my family and friends. I feel SO grateful and I just hope I can learn how to do this sobriety thing with the courage and strength I've seen in so many people here.
I know this is turning into a sermon, but it's only to say how deeply I appreciate all of you being here (When I started this post I didn't think I really had much to say, haha!).
ODAAT!!!!!

I always enjoy your posts; they project an inner silent strength and attitude of gratitude that's inside of you and radiates outwardly.
What you're doing is working so keep doing it and thank you for sharing it!
