My Progress Update

I like to write in my blog section so i can revisit my journey of recovery. This is my latest Blog.

Well i am on day 41 today which has included 5 weekends sober. I have found it really easy this time around. I am sure that my abstinence last year (7 months) has given me the solid tools i have needed to date to remain Sober and confident so far.
"SO FAR" These are the important words for me to remember. I need to learn from my past relapse how to deal with the trying times of Sobriety when it rears its ugly heads in the future (and it will).
I cant have complacency creep into my recovery.
I must be aware of anxiety and depression and deal with this straight away as it happens. (I need to accept that it will happen).
I really am positive with the way my recovery is progressing to date. My mind is clear. I feel fit and healthy. I am enjoying the many rewards of sobriety.
Although i only have 41 days sober this time around, I am starting to truly believe that i am no longer a drinker. Again i think i can can credit my sober time last year to some of these feelings.
I truly think that i can lead a normal functioning Sober life. I am looking forward to my future with confidence and one day at a time
Life is pretty damn good

Very nice Pedro. Yes, vigilance while in recovery is important, and it sounds like you're taking that into account and working hard to remain sober.
