Here is to another week of sobriety coming up. We can all do it. Weather it's day 1 or day 1000 =]

DrSober

I can't think about day 1000, but I'm with you otherwise.

All we have if lucky just one day at a time. That's important because at certain stages of getting sober we can easily become overwhelmed with too much processing which can lower our sights on what is a primary goal of getting/staying sober. BE WELL

You're doing a great job, Pete.

I am sober today. I am sober in the present and that's the only period of time i have control over. As long as i keep that in mind, i can live a sober life with my whole heart. Moments multiply to become our past and what we do in the present moment can shape our future. With that in mind, live the best you can in the present moment and the past and future will take care of themselves.

I wasn't suggesting that we all say we are going to do 1000 days, I to am taking every day as it comes!

Pete you are doing A.M.A.Z.I.N.G !!!

How did your sober weekend go?

What a great thread Pete! I'm in!

ersatzmatriarch

pete, your positive attitude is fabulous!

i too realize we only technically have this moment, but i think it's perfectly fine (and sometimes necessary) to look towards the future...

for instance, i'm camping with the fam this coming weekend, first time ever since i put down the drink. i've done the hammered-round-the-campfire thing way more times than my share, and i'm completely thrilled to say right here today that i ain't doing that this time out! will i still have to wake up each morning then and say "i'm not drinking today."? you bet... but for today, looking forward to and envisioning a sober camping trip fills me with great hope. a hope i never had while drinking.

for me, living for today is essential... but i'm going to live today better if i maintain hope and excitement for a sober tomorrow.

At first I feel worried doing things I would normally drink at, but now have in a way because strangely excited at the challenge or staying sober. Going on holiday on Sunday for 4 nights. My biggest challenge yet!!

LadyinBC

We will be with you in spirit! Always remember that.

Petecrab

I did it! It was boiling! Alot of walking through Prague. Cheap booze and didn't touch a drop! Proud to say the least!!
