Grabbing life
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!
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!

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.
