One Month Hey everyone! Today marks exactly one month of being sober...not a sip of alcohol. Honestly, if you would have told me a few months ago that I would even be close to one month sober...I would have rolled my eyes or laughed in your face. I didn't want it for myself......I tried for everyone else. What's different this time around is I wanted it for me. This first month has been easier than I expected. I know the AV will sneak up on me soon...so I work every day to be prepared for that moment. I told myself I would commit to 100 days, minimum. Alcohol will always be there for me after 100 days...if I choose that route. I think I'll end up liking sobriety too much. :) So, I plan to extend my goal past 100 days. Continue to tack on a few more weeks...months...years until that moment slaps me in the face. "Wow...being sober truly is better" I feel amazing right now. I do miss some aspects about my life with drinking, but overall, it's been great. The void left in my life after I stopped drinking is large....I haven't been able to find something yet to fully replace it. But everyday I try to make a small step in that direction. Good luck everyone. Thanks for listening. :tyou |
Good stuff RUL. Try posting to the newcomers, it may help to fill the void. Any pass times ? |
You’re doing so great! I know what you mean about the void, but at 100 days in I’ve started to fill it with some reasonably worthwhile (and fun) activities. Sobriety keeps getting better and better😀 |
Rul, Congrats on 100 days! Regarding filling the void, may I suggest the book ‘Habit stacking: 127 small changes to improve your wealth, health, and happiness.’? Plenty of good ideas to get you going, especially if you’re a listmaker kind of guy. |
Way to go!!!!! Keep it up! |
Way to go RUL23! :You_Rock_ |
Congrats on the first of many sober months! :) Keep going, it gets better. :) |
