53 Days & A Nervous Intro...
Hello... it’s only taken 53 days to finally find the courage to introduce myself!
My name is May, I’m 39 years old & alcohol is my poison.
I currently have 53 days of sobriety under my belt - that’s a first, in at least a decade!
Daily/nightly (non creepy) lurking & reading of posts & blogs here on SR, have inspired me & boosted my willpower to achieve these 53 days and counting…so thank you all so very much & I wish you the very best on your journeys towards a happier & healthier version of you!
If you made it this far? Thank you for reading my nervous intro...
Onwards & upwards to everyone!

Welcome May and thanks for the intro. Didn't seem nervous at all!
53 days is incredible. Keep up the good work. I promise it gets easier with time; just don't let your guard down.
Well done!

Hi CaseyW, thank you for the welcome & it's good to hear of your 55 days!
It's been a roller coaster of ups & downs, highs & lows...insomnia, anxiety, regrets, loneliness, sugar binges, anger, frustration, brain fog, endless days, long nights...but, I'm still plodding along slowly, but surely & feeling much better since passing the 50 day mark.
Days 40 - 50 were the most miserable for me & I really felt like giving up, but so glad to have made it over the first hump. There will always be good & bad days ahead, but I'm starting to see a flicker of light at the end of a very, very dark tunnel!
How have your 55 days been going so far?

May, Congratulations on your 53 hard-earned days.
You summed it up very well. I'm glad you didn't cave at any point during those challenges. Be kind to yourself and know that things will continue to improve.
