21 Days

21 Days today. I am pretty thrilled. The fog is lifting. 21 days ago I was absolutely feeling hopeless, helpless, and had almost no will to keep going because I have struggled with sobriety so much. It is really an ego killer to go back out over and over fully knowing that you are an alcoholic / addict. I did not enjoy it at all.

The people on SR and in the rooms of AA are amazing. See, I finally realized I need a whole lot of HELP and it's ok that I need it. No man is an island. I tried to be strong and just quit many times... Not possible. I had to put my hand out one more time and you guys were right there without judgement. Thank you all so much.

One more week and I'll have that 30 day chip in my back pocket.

Congrats!! I'm only a couple days ahead of you & I'm with you, I feel like something clicked in the last couple days. 3 weeks ago seems like forever. Keep it up!

Congrats on your 21 days.. And keep it only in the day. One day at a time.

In those rooms you will learn not to be celebrating something before it arrives that day. 30 day chip is 9 days away.. Thats a lot of tomorrow's, if you know what I mean..

Keep going and growing. Get that sponsor , work those steps, get a home group, get active , and help another alcoholic..

You are doing AWESOME keep it up.
