90 days sober
 

I don't particularly keep a log of my sober days, I just tend to count them every so often and I noticed I was on 90 days today. I knew deep down this time was for good but I still had doubts that I would come this far.

On my way home from work I fantasized about drinking wine in the sun, i'm still thinking of drinking a lot but I have no desire to act upon these thoughts. Each time I think of drinking I think about what will happen if I take that first drink and where I'll end up. Ocasionnally my addictive mind tells me that because my DOC was alcohol I will be ok if I buy some coke. I'm clearly still having issues in which I need to sort.

I just watched a documenary on Steve-O which is about his drug and alcohol addiction and becoming sober. It was good to watch and relate and also to remind me exactly why I need to be sober.

This thread prob seems like a bit of rambling but I just wanted to share where I was at 90 days in. Also I don't go to meetings so I wanted to talk on here. Thanks to anyone who read this

congratulations Jeans :)

(((Jeans))) - Congratulations on 90 days!!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Fantastic. I think the important change is knowing what a unstable fuse it is to light.
Even then I guess we have to be even more careful.
I'm sure you don't need me to pat you on the back , but congratulations.
John.

Congratulations on 90 days!

Congrats Jeans I am right behind you at 87 make sure I never catch you. :)

You rock girl. :)

who's steve-o? is he one of those jackasses, the one who went to clown college but never got picked to be in the actual circus? Yeah, I lived in West Chester PA once...

WHAT?!?!?!?!?! You don't know who Steve-O is? MAN! His story of recovery is INCREDIBLE! He was an actor on the show "Jackass". I'd strongly advise you to watch "Steve-O Demise and Rise".

If Steve-O can recover ANYONE can recover! His story is truly REMARKABLE. This guy came from the depths of insanity to become a completely different person! He truly is an inspiration for all recovering drug addicts and alcoholics!

Reason being, because I've NEVER seen somebody as blantantly hopeless as Steve-O.

I must warn though: Some of the footage in the documentary is pretty hardcore.

ALSO: OP, thanks for posting! 90 days is a great milestone! And I know the feelings of switching drugs that "aren't your problem."

I relapsed on marijuana 26 days ago, thinking "that wasn't my problem". Nothing drastically bad happened, but the writing was on the wall. It just doesn't work for me.

I hope you don't have to do this type of "research" and learn a HARD lesson the way I did! I had seven months when I was 21, and thought "a little bit of weed won't hurt". WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!!

Thanks for the thread!

Congratulations on 3 months!

That seems brilliant but, you see the buttons are right next to oneanother so it was easy.
Getting 90 days is HARD, so you must be.....BRILLIANT!
:funjump:

Jeans-
I am so happy for you! I love Steve-O!!!:ghug3

Way to go on getting 90, Jeans!!

I think you're doing great - I had thoughts of drinking for a long time, but like you, I countered them with thoughts of what it was really like to live that way. I spent the last year of my drinking wishing I could get sober (so how much fun could it have been?) Stay strong!:c031:

:dance1a:

Congratulations Jeans!! 90 days is terrific! I'm right behind too and I'm pretty excited about it. Think of all the things there are to look forward to. One thing is a sober summer. Long evenings to actually do the things I enjoy, not veg out with a bottle of wine. Good for you.
