8 weeks
I reached my 8 week milestone yesterday and I was too busy to even think about it.
If I wasn't sober I don't know how I would be able to keep up with my life. Sobriety has given me this wonderful ability to chose my actions from a nearly endless list of possibilities. I was a slave to alcohol before, always doing what it told me or fighting not to. Now I feel safe and competent because I know that I can handle whatever comes along.
My life has become so much more challenging and yet manageable in these past 8 weeks. I do not feel like I am struggling with mental health issues like I was before, while drinking depression and anxiety were constant issues in my life.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel better than before. Thanks for your support.

This is such an inspiring post! I, too, feel like getting sober gave me back a strength that I felt I had lost to my depression and anxiety. The reality is that I lost my personal strength because of my alcohol use
