I've been sober for 33 days now and I'm having mixed feelings about it. I think i'm struggling with the realization that I will never drink again and my worry is, "what if next year(s) I break?" Already I feel proud of the progress I've made and the motivation I've been able to keep. But it's kind of scary to think that it may all come crumbling down because of one bad decision years from now. I know that they are just thoughts and that i'm not the only one to have them, but it's a little depressing when I think about it.

That aside, I am much happier and feel a lot better. I haven't really had any hankering for a drink, at least nothing too bad. I'm motivated and looking forward to this year sober.

Great job on 33 days, jayman. Be sober for today, jayman, and really appreciate the goodness of a sober day. Do it again tomorrow . . . . . making certain to keep appreciation firmly in place each and every day.

Take being sober a day at a time, thinking too far into the future is no use.

Live in today and well done on 33 days.

^ +1. One day at a time, moment by moment. Short term goals eventually add up, I much prefer to focus on them (and get better results by doing so!)

Congrats on 33 days, great work.

Keep it simple, 1 day at a time, get to bedtime and re assess things tomorrow, a day can make a big difference!!

33 Days is fantastic!!

Jayman well done on 33 days!

I find it best in my own case not to dwell on the past or worry about the future too much. As everyone is saying, take it one day a time and just have faith in yourself.

More power to you Jayman!

what if the world ends?

All any of us needs to do is stay sober today jayman - try not to future trip too much - our inner addict loves to get its nasty little claws into that....
