Day 60's anxiety and gratitude
Tomorrow is day 60 for me. Can't believe I've gotten this far already, but at the same time I know it's just the beginning. I get to deal with the consequences of my "last drunk" tomorrow in court. Probably just a fine, but I'm still mortified that I have to go. I'm dealing with that anxiety, plus the anxiety of knowing that this is about how long my last period of sobriety lasted. Starting tomorrow, I'm in uncharted territory. Yikes! Scary, but exciting.
I am feeling gratitude for that last drunk, even if it did come with consequences. Well, because it had consequences. I've been able to remember where drinking has gotten me, it made me go looking for help and landed me here, and it made me take a good look at my life. I've had huge breakthroughs in discovering why I am the way I am, some reasons I drank, and what works to keep me sober.
I'll be even more grateful to get to day 61, though!

Way to go on getting to 60 days! I hope things go smoothly for you in court. Once you get through this, you'll be so relieved and proud that you've turned things around and have stayed sober.
Hugs and prayers.....
