Getting there...and its getting easier I'm 93 days sober today..that's 3 months of no alcohol in my system but plenty of it in my thoughts..!! I still feel like a newcomer despite the days adding up and I wanted to post here to give all the encouragement that I can to anyone earlier in recovery. It has been an enormous struggle for me to get to this point and not a day goes by without offering thanks to the power which is keeping me safe. Each day I work at staying sober and I truly realise that a slip is possible on any given day. Thankfully I don't desire drink anymore but I have had many moments of temptation when I had to remind myself of all that I had to lose by picking up again. So much to lose after these last 3 months of peace and growing self-belief, so much more that I want to hold onto for the life that I deserve. Keep going, we all must keep striving for the freedom that is possible once we don't give up on ourselves xxx |
Great, good for you. Keep at it. It's always good to hear the stories of people who have remained sober. |

Good for you & thanks for sharing. |
Hi Marria. It is rough going in the beginning - when we've always used it to cope with things. Once we realize life is actually easier to handle without it - we feel so free. As you said, you feel at peace - and that feeling will keep growing. Congratulations on your 93 days. |
93 days of peace...sounds wonderful....great job!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Maria, Great post! These posts are so motivating:You_Rock_ for me as well as for all of us newbies. Congrats on 90+ days. |
