2 months Sober. I've re-written this several times already today but just can't seem to put an articulate post together (It's been a challenging week at work so I guess i'm just tired). Just wanted to say that I am 2 months sober this weekend and feeling better all the time. After many failed attempts at sobriety I am approaching this attempt differently. I no longer question when I get to this stage as to why I don't feel brilliant every day, have boundless energy or that my life hasn't 'turned around' completely. Instead, I compare my life now, 2 months without alcohol, to how it was when I was drinking. Miserable, depressed and unhappy. For me, sobriety, just like alcoholism, is progressive. There is no magic cure and I have to work at it. I gradually feel better as the weeks pass by and can already see a dramatic improvement in all aspects of my life even in this short space of time. I'm not yet where I want to be but that's OK because I know the longer I abstain from pouring that wretched stuff down my neck the more my life will improve. Have a great sober weekend! 30 degrees in most of Europe so off to the outdoor swimming pool with the kids! Julynine :thanks |

staying mindful of the bad things that alcohol did for us and compairing it and being grateful for now is a strong tool in my sobriety toolbox . Congratulations on 2 months, may you have many more . Bestwishes, M |

It's very true...progressive sobriety brings HOPE. |
Congratulations Julynine :a122: It really does get better and better :) x |
Well done on 2 months |
Congratulations on 2 months! :) x |
Congratulations Julynine you are an inspiration. |
Congrats! That's great. And you sound really good. You have a realistic view of the first few months I hear it sails that only an alcoholic who is given this gift of sobriety seems to think they now deserve all the worldly prizes. It's what changes inside of us that is to be treasured. All the other stuff is just icing on the cake. |
Congratulations :) I'm so pleased for you. That's excellent news and I hope you have a very enjoyable day x |
Way to go Jullynine , enjoy the pool. :) |
You're amazing. Your post is an inspiration for me. Very happy for you! :) |
