70 days sober - thank you SR
Thank you to SR, for all its flaws and miracles - an amazing place to have found. Being here in all different ways - from a lurker, a frequent poster, disappearer, reader, drunk and now sober - has been absolutely essential in my journey to sobriety.
I've never been this sober for this long in decades. And I finally, finally know in all of my being, that I'm going to be sober forever.
To anyone new or who is not new and is struggling - like many have said before me, if I can do it so can you. I fell off the wagon, drank with terrifying irresponsibility, sacrificed so much of what was good in my life to the booze - and yet here I am, sure in my sobriety, finally. It can be done and it's is a better life. That realization - just how better life is sober, has finally come from within me. It took a long time, and lots of screw ups, pity-parties and work to get here.
I credit SR with so much of what is in my toolbox and my understanding of addiction, loss, pain, peace and sobriety.
I'm just getting started on this sober path. And I'm excited to see what I am finally able to do with my life. It can be done, and we each have it within us to save our selves from our selves.
Thank you again, truly, to everyone here.

Thank you for posting. I'm glad you're feeling so great about your sobriety.
I'm at 53 days and struggling a bit. I've been wanting to drink more recently. I haven't been enjoying "socializing sober" as much as I did at the beginning. The pink cloud has worn away, so to speak.
I know this phase will pass. I want to stay sober forever, just like you. Sometimes I go to a meeting and what the speaker says just really CLICKS with me, and I think, yeah, I can do this, I can do this sober lifestyle forever.
Othertimes, possibly when I'm lonelier, or angrier, or more tired, I feel like I don't wanna commit to this life of sobriety. But posting on here is key. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself. Sobriety doesn't happen without effort and hard work - bravo to you and here's to your new life living as your authentic self, which is only possible without the poison
