3 months today
I just wanted to check in and let you all know I made my first milestone! This is the longest I have ever be sober from alcohol since I was 16. I am 29. I am so grateful, and getting stronger and more hopeful everyday. Sobriety is awesome. To all of you struggling... The first two months are extremely difficult and life changing, but it DOES get better. With positive thinking and embracing your health and future, life opens up. Very grateful for this website and the people I have met who have helped me immensely. Goodnight!

FDG, great question, so many things have changed... but I think my coping mechanism is the greatest. Whenever I feel like self destructing, or my mind turns to the negative, I am able to talk myself out of it and focus on the positive. Now I pray, turn to friends or family, or read. Before I would turn to the bottle in hopes of feeling better, but it would always get much worse. I'm also becoming comfortable and confident in social situations, even when others are all drinking. It's hard sometimes, but these are the core issues I needed to change. I know now life is still really difficult and not fair, but drinking will only make it worse, never better. How about you?
. Woohoo. Keep it up.
