Day 70, life is up & down
Day 70..... Still going strong. Even though life is still throwing crap at me, I feel pretty darn happy to be sober. I'm actually dealing with life's problems head on instead of hiding with the bottle. It's a bit overwhelming at times, seems like every week a new problem arises and my anxiety flares up. It's now where near as bad as it was even a month ago.
Last night my neighbor caught me of guard as I was pulling into my driveway, I roll down my window and he starts into me that my dog is barking to much. I felt like I was caught off guard as I had the kids in the back seat and didn't really know how to respond. I just said "okay I'll deal with it. I stewed about it all evening thinking he could have at least waited till we were parked and the kids were in the house. So after giving it some thought, I'm going to knock on his door and make a apology and explain how I felt, and let him know how I'm going to try and deal with it. Don't want this to turn into a resentment.
Ahh life, its way better sober but still throws those curve balls.
Glad to be sober, each and every day I grow stronger.
Have a good day everyone

That's great, Hats. Things like that just reinforce the idea that we are doing exactly the right thing by being sober. I love it when I calmly deal with something that would have had me in an anxious spin when I was drinking.
Well done on the 70 days, too. We are around the same point. 10 weeks felt significant for me somehow.
