I have been waiting to reach 60 days sober because I haven't done this in a very long time. I know it's a small blip on the recovery map but I am still proud. Today I sat in a meeting and the topic was accepting where you are in the present moment. And although I didn't wake up sad, halfway thru the meeting I started crying. Not sobbing...just tears streaming from my eyes and I could NOT stop them. I didn't share today. I didn't have to. I listened to my fellow aa peeps and let my emotions run. Tears of joy or sorrow or just repressed emotions that needed to come out? I have no clue. Recovery is hard but it's also beautiful. I can feel again.

Wonderful job on 60 days, quitforme79. I was very emotional the first few months. I think the tears are a combination of all the things you mentioned. They've been a long time coming. We've numbed ourselves to cope, and that's unnatural. This is healing time.

You're doing great - and it'll only keep getting better. We're proud of you.

60 days is amazing! Great job! Your post is an inspiration! For me, the first 2 months were the hardest. Don't let up though, full throttle on taking care of yourself!

Thanks all And that's good to know jobei...I hope that my body and mind settle down more as the days pass. I have continued with crying spurts and pretty heavy anxiety today. It's not fun but I am still sober and working thru it. A great gift to myself!
