90 days… but with a shocking realization...
 

90 days sober today :)

I’m still trying to keep foot to the floor though and focus on working at all of the new challenges and things I need to keep changing.

Now I have a tiny bit more distance I realize how without sobriety no development was ever going to happen in my life. In fact all of the huge signposts I was ignoring were pointing to heartache and suffering.

I’ve been reading and learning a lot about my disease, and am still truly shocked at how serious and fatal it is. Whilst actively drinking, I was just freewheeling though, thinking maybe next week will be better timing or after this or that stressor or hangover has passed… Now I understand how lucky I was to get to stop before it got completely and utterly out of control. Alcoholism is as real as my denial was. And the path I was on was *for sure* a terminal one. That realization has just hit me with a big wallop. (Ouch) :yikes:

Phew. And thanks to y'all.

Congratulations on 90 days! Good for you on working on getting your life back. Alcohol is certainly a dead end. I'm glad to have waken up from the fog too.

90 days: Super!!!!

Congratulations

Congrats on 90 days Calitano!

Calitano, like you I was shocked at the level of denial that goes along with the disease of alcoholism. Congratulations on 90 days sober.

Congratulations on ninety days! That's great.

I didn't know how much of life I was missing until I got my head out of the sand. I try not to take for granted the things I didn't think I could do before but now do almost without thinking.

Well done.

Holy cannolis, 90 days is awesome.

Great job on 90 days!!!

That is good news.

90 Days is fantastic Calitano!! :You_Rock_

Congrats on 90 days!!

I could've written this post myself. I look back and am so thankful that I decided to stop while I was still ahead.
