Thirty

Looking back I definitely see a difference in myself And my attitude, I don't feel and see myself as lost and hopless as I was at day 1

Sober living gas given me hope for my future and for my health, because at 24 years of age and sober I look at the mirror and see a person with lots of potential, and not a hopeless beer guzzling fool. Your outlook on life really does suffer when you KNOW your a alcoholic that won't/cant stop . but It's amazing how quick self esteem can boost in the first month.

Now iam not counting my chickens yet, I know its still early and my AV has a field day at times.

I suppose taking it one day at a time is a good plan, and the days do stack up quite quick, it felt only yesterday I was sitting at day 2 thinking "how am I gonna get to day 30"

So here I am at day 30, with a sense of authentic achievement that I have not felt in a while.

The next step and plan, well...is to simply not drink and keep going. You wouldn't think so, but just being among everyone and chatting here really helps, I can't stop checking the site .

It's funny the irony here is that , Alcohol is a friend ship foundation of alcoholics , they meet and are friends to drink.

The same goes for here, we meet because of alcohol, but we meet to kick its ass.

Btw , I've saved over $400 (it helps to keep a tally)

What a great post to read. Congratulations. It does help to keep a tally of the money you save. I used to spend about $300/month on booze. Holy smokes.

Congrats on 30 days M. I wish I had made the decision to quit when I was 24. Good job and keep going. It gets better.
