Grabbing life
 

I'm 60 days sober today.

61 days ago I was in the deepest pit of despair. I used drink to feel nothing because I hated who I was, what I'd become. I lost years of my life to alcohol and now at the young (ahem) age of 34 I feel like it's starting over. I've got another chance at my life. How cool is that? To get that chance?

It's hard work, I'm still angry, up and down a lot, I struggle dealing with any type of emotion but I'm trying to embrace them and ride them out. Liking myself is a toughie but a work in progress.
I'm trying to show me the love I would show to another person.

I just want to grab life by the b*lls.

Hang in if your struggling. You can do it.

One day at a time.

Congratulations on 60 days, foolsgold. That's just brilliant! :bigok:

And there's no need for the 'ahem' - I was (ahem, ahem!) 52 when I gave up drinking - and I'm also grabbing life by the round things! ;)

Wonderful post! :c015:

Well done on 60! :) I quit at age 36 and have never felt better, and I still feel young! In the past year I learned to accept myself, my strengths and weaknesses. Flaws and all. Sometimes it's a struggle, but well worth it.

Good for you for 60 days sober and I'm glad you feel well.

Congratulations on 60 days! :)

we all can do this! Thanks! Drinking, smoking, getting intoxicated is never the way to like or love yourself!! You will never get to the real issue!

60 days! Something to be so proud of! It'll keep on getting better. :)

Thanks guys. This place along with AA has saved my life.
