30 Days!

I arrived here 30 days ago just wondering what the heck I was doing. 30 days without booze later, and I feel really good. I can't believe I made it 30 days without alcohol. There have been some rough emotional moments - but my depression has been lifting, I don't have any cringe-worthy regrets or embarrassment, I feel physically and mentally good, my relationships are better, I don't feel so confused and underwater. This was a good decision.

Just wanted to say thank you to the SR community. I would never have made it 30 days without alcohol without the people here. I haven't made it 30 days in 15+ years, minus my pregnancy and my daughter's infancy.

Wanted to say thank you especially to Sapling, Dee, & my May class. Thanks for the challenges and kindness.

Hoping and planning on another 30....

Great effort. May the blessings of sobriety continue ( as I am sure they will).
