3 months Baby steps into the unknown
Today is 3 months sober.In some ways 3 months has gone by in a flash.But on the other hand it seems like a eternity since that last pour and stuper. I wake everyday now surprised I feel great. Surprised my mind is clear and I'm not hurting.I was expecting miracle breakthroughs with sobriety and how my life would all fall into magic order seeing I was new & Improved.Of course it didn't happen, what did happen is I got the realization of a lot of bad choices while drinking and realizing I now had a crazy puzzle called my life to put back together. I truly feel it's going well. Been sharing my morning coffee with tony Robbins such a great motivator and inspirational speaker.I love watching u tube self help videos on my smart tv. Life really is about choices and why the hell not listen to people who have a track record of success and positivity.I write notes, I listen, I'm even adopting and trying the concepts. But just like sobriety everything is baby steps into the unknown.I write all this just to give hope to those working on their deal.3 months goes by like nothing and with sobriety you do change for the better, for me not in anyway I anticipated but in subtle good ways like walking my dog is a pleasure now not a burden.Like I can grow a houseplant not kill it instantly.Every win is a plus and it's all small stuff, but I'm getting to believe from these small victories maybe bigger ones grow???So my fellow ex drinkers. Keep up the fight! And Happy holidays! Especially that person who put down the bottle today and said...No More! Sincerely ByeRedWine

Bye,
Great post. Surround yourself w positives...great reminder.
3 months is a big deal. Your dopamine is probably normalizing.
I keep striving to find happiness during each sober day.
It works. Finding reasons to laugh, offer to get the bill, trying to help someone on SR....all good.
I also love to think in a zen mind set.
Getting out of my own head is something that is coming easier w each sober moment.
Love it.
Thanks.

Congrats on 3 months and thanks for the post - appreciation of the small things in life and what it's really all about is enlightening - and the best news is it really does keep getting better and the bigger ones most definitely grow, that acceptance/ realisation that this truly is what life / living is all about and how it really was meant to be is there for us all if we stick with our plan and make the necessary changes, amazing what we can achieve when we really want it,
Have a lovely Christmas.
Have a lovely Christmas.
Have a sober and Merry Christmas!
