50 days

It has been 50 days without having a drop of alcohol in my body. I'm starting to actively engage in life again. We are in the process of looking for a house to buy, and instead of going through the motions and trying to get it over with as quickly as possible. I have been poring over home listings, going to dozens of house showings a week, getting personally involved in bidding on houses, and feeling "good" stress for once. It's the kind of stress that pushes you to work harder; not the kind that makes you hyperventilate and not sleep. A few months ago, this whole experience would have been a nightmare with me drinking. I would have been annoyed and combative, and would have inevitably screwed something up. And being sober and engaged in this process helps me to stay grounded in the reality that I won't have to stay in this awful apartment for much longer.

You are doing great and good luck with house hunting, glad to hear you are taking your time as I have found this is when one finds the deals and you get what you want.
