Hi everyone - So, I went to a Friday night beginner's meeting and got a chip for 30 days sober. I'm proud of it. It's been years since I could stop drinking for a month. I think I have 35 days - but I really can't afford to think about it. It's just one day at a time for me. I hope everyone has a good sober weekend. I have meetings planned. And am reading and posting. I can't help thinking sometimes that the party and good times are behind me and I get sad. Then I think about the last few drunks that were horrific and realize the party has been over for a while.
I was the last to know.

That's great tiffany
Good nights are great. Building blocks. That is a really good realization to have and to keep remembering. You should be proud of yourself. Keep on keeping on. I hope you have a very peaceful, contented weekend.

Tiffany,

I quit after being a binger, after being a daily drinker, etc etc.

My body and brain were fried.

It has taken a long long time to get to this state of serenity.

I still obsess and dealing w life clean is sometimes difficult, but in the end it is how it needs to be.

Booze is poison. It is gov't sanctioned toxin. It alters our minds. It is highly addictive. Who needs that?

Relearn to live sober. It gets easier as time goes by.

Just so you understand, I was a blithering mess at 90 days. I was still pretty messed up a 6 months. I didn't see a big improvement in my mental state until well after a year.

Now it is learning what is normal. I am not used to normal

Relapse is always waiting. It is a patient monster. Lurking.

Thanks.
