Day 25. Trying to NOT get over-confident
 

So today makes 25 straight days of not drinking.

I'm allowing myself to enjoy it for what it is. An accomplishment.

But it's a hurdle I've crossed a couple times before in prior attempts.

Now is the time i need to get extra vigilant though...I'm enjoying many of the perks of soberness now. Sleeping/Eating better.

Looking better. :D

It does feel different this time because i'm *patched* in to AA. I'm working the steps. I'm in contact with my sponsor daily.

To sum it up. I feel great. And it worries me a little bit. Because this is when the insidious thoughts in the past have crept up on me.

Guess you could say...I'm alert. And i'm on guard.:tapping

Thanks for reading. Feels good to post it out! :thanks

Congrats on day 25! I'm one day behind you. Keep up the good work.

Staying humble is definitely wise. Overconfidence is what ruined me last time around. That way of thinking lets your av voice creep in, telling you that a beer won't do any harm.

Then it's three days later and you're hanging over a toilet.

What an amazing accomplishment! Congrats you're doing awesome!:a122:

Good for you!

I hope you find a balance between being very proud of yourself and knowing that there could be a tough day at some point. :)

Well done Finding keep on keeping on friend

25 days is awesome

Congratulations on your 25th day. I read before the it takes 21 day to brake a habit but I know this is not the case with alcohol. Much blessing to you.

Many congrats on 25 days :c011: You have the armour this time, your vigilance.

Congrats on 25 days sober! :) Stay alert. :)

Great job on 25! And awesome thinking, that is the way to be it seems

Hey Findingtheway, congrats on the 25 days!
Nice. That's what it's all about!

Good to hear. I remember your post a month ago after your mishap/hospital trip. You've come a long way!

Great job on 25 Days!! Keep pushing through!! :You_Rock_

Or in my case...waking up in the hospital from a VERY scary Blackout.

Nice - & I know the feeling. It's nice to be proud of what you've achieved, but it's easy to become complacent. That's how it's been for me the last few days anyway. Need to refocus.

Keep going man.

I'm on day 22 now, I had 30 days before that, so I see your point, that 1-month mark can be a real trigger... but we can do this!

Congrats on day 25! :)
