6 Weeks - Imagine
Today I have been sober for 6 weeks (43 days).
I want to mark this date with this thread. I know there are many folks here that have gone longer and some are struggling to make it just 1 day.
There is no magic dust to sprinkle to make us sober. It takes determination.... I had to completely change my way of thinking.
I am now catching a buzz from life.... no more pain, no more guilt, no more aches from the damage to my mind and body caused by drinking.
I am a better person .. period.

Now I don't think like that....
I changed my thoughts to --
"What will happen when I drink some whiskey for breakfast?"
My thoughts now.... oh man, if I do that, I will end up ruining my day. I will let myself down. I will smell like booze.... I will ruin my 6 weeks sober. I won't get to do my 3 mile walk today. Mainly, I will get sick again and end up going down the ugly path as I was before.
That is what I meant.... I hope this helps.
Thanks everyone for the positive messages!
