Sixty Days

By the grace of God, AA, outpatient rehab, a great team of professional support specialists and the wonderful people at SR I hit sixty days today. After two years of failed attempts (with the longest success being 33 days) this time was different, I had the gift of desperation and was willing to go to any lengths. It has been confusing, frightening and at the same time liberating. I sleep better than I ever have, my anxiety is almost gone and I feel hope for the first time in years. Life still happens, good and bad, but I deal with it with a clear mind and a better attitude towards others and myself. I can't thank this community enough for the knowledge and insight I get from here every day. If you are just starting out, hang on....it gets better. I am SO excited now to see how much better it just keeps getting.

Congrats, Flawed!! I can relate to the gift of desperation and being willing to go to any lengths to stay sober. To genuinely want to put recovery first is a true blessing!

All the best to you!!
