30 Days.
Well, it's here. I made it through the first 30 days. This past week has been tough for me. I read a lot about it being tough for a lot of people around anniversary dates.. 30 days, 60, 90, a year, etc. I am hoping that that's out of my system and my AV will simmer down some.
Today has been pretty good. Even though I had a rough few days I handled them, and I handled them sober. I am proud of that. I feel my emotions don't control me anymore. I still feel them but I don't use them as an excuse to lose control, panic, drink, etc. I still lose my temper here and there but I'm finding myself to be a bit more leveled. I am hoping that continues to improve.
I haven't been able to get a grasp on eating right and exercising regularly as I had hoped, but I'm trying to take it easy on myself. I hope to be better about this after the 1st of the year..one thing at a time, right?
I just want to say thank you to everyone in this wonderful community. I truly don't think I could have done it without the support here. I haven't been in many social situations (outside of work) since I became sober, and many of my friends still don't know (though I've come "out" to a few). This community is a life saver when I feel so alone and lost.

I'm so impressed with you efforts, Suekie. You really have been fighting the good fight. Highs and lows, ups and downs-you can handle them. We are all in this together. Congrats on 30 days! Onward!

Suekie - Congratulations on 30 days!! I heard the same thing about feeling "off" around anniversary dates. For me, it was true but knowing others had been through it and kept on going gave me inspiration to just get through it and keep on going.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
