23 months sober tomorrow!!
 

I can hardly believe it! Tomorrow marks 23 months without a drop of alcohol.:) My life has improved so much it's completely different from how I used to live. I smile more. I feel like smiling more! I'm in a good mood most of the time. I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling good. I take better care of my dogs and myself and we all show it in our happy healthy dispositions.

For the longest time I didn't think I could do it. I tried and failed, over and over, but thanks to the good people here and my addiction counselor I didn't give up on myself - I kept trying, and by golly, I finally did it!:c031:

I attribute a lot of my success to being grateful. I'm thankful for all my blessings, and contrary to my old negative attitude, my blessings are many.:)

I'm enjoying my life now whereas before I was just existing from bottle to bottle and was miserable all the time.:( I was resentful of happy people but now I'm one of those happy people!:)

It took me a while to start feeling like a decent human being again. It didn't happen overnight. Took several months before I felt 'normal' but it was worth the wait.

If you're just starting out, or starting over, don't give up! Keep at it until you make it! It's worth the effort.

Thank you. Congrats. You earned it!

@ Least


"i'll have what she's having..make it a double'

What an inspiration you are!

thanks

Least, Congratulations!

And, thank you for reminding me how very important it is to be grateful.:)

Wow least, congratulations. What an inspiration. I'm just over a month. I feel good, but I remain vigilant for the temptation to take that first drink. Oddly, I am tempted rarely these days, and I attribute this to reading this site everyday and occasionally throwing my two cents in. Hearing about the wonderful accomplishments of people like you really helps me keep going. I'm very happy for you.

That is wonderful!! Thanx for sharing!!

You definitely seem calmer, more positive, more confident. Your posts show a huge change - and it'll keep getting better. Congratulations on your almost 2 yrs. :)

Whoo hoo! Way to go least!

You are a role model for me, and I can't thank you enough!

Congrats Least!!

Congratulations!! Your "sober wisdom" shows in your posts. I enjoy reading them. :)
