MustStop

I made it to the 60 day point today

Thanks to everyone here for the great advice and encouragement. My main focus in all of this has been rebuilding my life. I got sober because the trail of drunken destruction included unemployment, a living situation not anywhere close to what I want it to be , finances in less than great shape and taxed/broken relationships. It was a mess and I'd had enough of that life!

I read lots of information online to stay focused and write in 30-day segment journals to set goals and track progress. Healthier eating, exercise, getting back into old hobbies and repairing finances and trying to make the best of my current situation is as far as I've gotten at this point.

I am hoping the next 60 days bring a new job and condo, those are my two biggest goals at this point.

For anyone doing this, I suggest the 30 day journals as its good to write down the good things and you can go back and read it when you feel less than fantastic.

Let me say congratulations muststop. I'm sure it's been quite the road. You're a real inspiration to myself as I'm only approaching a week. Thank you for this and best.

Congrats! I'm working on the same things right now. It's refreshing to actually address problems rather than deny their existence.

Thanks

I've also blatantly realized that some of my old "friends" aren't. The only things we did together were based around alcohol or hanging out at facilities that served it and the new me just doesn't roll like that anymore. God, 1 friend I was hanging out with and thinking - I have nothing in common with this guy, I don't find anything he talks about interesting, he's a drama queen and for lack of better words, an idiot. Problem is, I've known him since grade 5. But that doesn't matter.

I've never had a problem making new friends, just never felt I needed any. Well I guess that has changed now lol.

Keep an eye out for that too in your journey to sobriety my friends

Thanks and yes its been quite the road. For 60 days I've felt like a fish out of water but I can see where I am going now and thats what keeps me positive and ultimately away from the beer/liquor stores.

One thing I read was that "everything is temporary when you're an alcoholic" and thats so very true. Temporary decisions that turn into permanent things because the booze gets put in front of everything. Fruition is halted, development is arrested, goals turn into unattainable dreams and the only answer is inside the bottle. Not anymore it isn't. Its fun actually trying for real this time!!
