30 days today!

30 days today, yay!

Milestones are great, but still feeling some of that "well I've had a lot more time like this in the past" garbage. But I can't get more time than I've had in the past without passing previous milestones, right?

Thanks to everyone who has been supportive over the past month. YOU all have helped me out tremendously, and I thank you for that. Thanks to everyone who listens to my banter and randomness in chat, as well. I know I am a goof a lot of the time and I hope that does not reflect my seriousness of the subject.

Awesome job to others who have managed to put any amount of time together. I know its cliche but I'll say it, if I can do it, ANYONE can.

Congrats, Fernaceman!

I do not get too caught up in milestones. All I have to do is make sure I stay sober today by doing the things I need to do. Found a sobriety calculator on line (AA History Sobriety Calculator) and it says I have been sober for 1203 days but today is no differant then any other day before or after. I can deal with today and any sober day is a good day

we have one of those too

Personally, I think milestones are great - not only as markers for us, but also especially for those who might gain inspiration from anothers achievements

Thank you all for your kind comments! This was a great thing to come home to after a long day at work. It was actually one of the better days of sales for me in quite a while. Amazing how God gives back when you start helping yourself.

Thanks again!

That made me smile a lot, CTR, lol. If there is someone who deserves all the time they have at the moment, it's you. Congrats on 35 days to you!

Congrats! 30 days is awesome. That was the hardest stretch for me. I try not to focus on time but on how my life is improving. How I am improving. Yet it is nice to be recognized for your hard work. Keep moving forward & don't look back
