500 Days! Wow I can’t believe it?! A few years ago I couldn’t get 3 days sober. I am so grateful for SR and the program of AA! It has shown me so many things that has helped me to live a life that is fulfilling and rewarding. Don’t get me wrong I do have days that are rocky but if I apply the principles that I have been taught I can remain sober 1 day at a time. By living life on lifes terms and using the 12 steps on a daily basis I can continue to have an incredible life. A little over 500 days ago I was sitting in my cabin, no job, no friends, very sick full of resentment, fear and self-pity with a 1.75L of Captain Morgan rum in my mouth. Drowning my feelings was the only way I knew to cope with life. Now I have a job, a nice place to live, a wealth of friends and the knowledge that I can move through life dealing with it’s challenges sober. Thanks! Garrison :tyou |
Congratulations! Feels good doesn't it? I have 504 days myself. |
Well done to both of you. 500+ days that's some serious sober time. I am approaching 6 months things can still be quite testing for me. Stay strong! |

Congrats on 500 days! Did you suffer any paws and if so how long? I'm at four months and my anxiety comes in huge waves over the top like. I can feel it coming on because the ringing /buzzing in my ears goes thru the roof. |
I suffered from PAWS bad myself, the first 6 months where really bad but I wasn't actually feeling better until around 13 months. |
Congrats on 500 days. Thank you for sharing. Your description of how you felt 500 days ago is close to how I feel now minus the alcohol. Reading that and realizing my head is there helped......a tiny bit. |
