24 Days
Why do I feel like this is getting harder? The excitement of getting sober is starting to wear off and I am really starting to contemplate a life without substances. It seems so difficult. I know I need to keep this in 24 hours but I can't help but feel overwhelmed.
Already things in my life are so much better and I just feel so much more honest but sometimes I just don't know if I will make it. It definitely feels like it is getting harder.

As with anything in life, we have up days and down days, beddy.
And as with anything in life, the exhilaration, excitement and shininess of sobriety can wax and wane somewhat. What I have found is that the 'excitement' of early sobriety and recovery evolved into a deep satisfaction and personal contentment that I wouldn't trade for excitement for all the money in the world.
Stick with it, beddy; sobriety gets better and better in ways you cannot anticipate in early times.
