Still seems like yesterday was Day 1.. But, here I sit and it is now day 465!

I cannot tell you it was easy. But, I can tell you that I am accomplishing my goal DAY BY DAY! 465 of those days have now passed. There have been temptations and thoughts. But, I have not acted on ANY of them -- NOT ONE TIME!

Find your support mechanism and surround yourself with people that want you to succeed and that love you unconditionally.

Now, I shall move onto day 466 of this day to day journey. But, I do so with a sense of well being and feeling thankful.... Plus, I feel better than I have in a very long time. .

Feeling THANKFUL!!!!!!

Thats amazing congratulations you must feel very proud. Can i ask do you stop or reduce thinking about/craving alcohol the longer time that passes ? Im only on day 2 but want desperately to remain sober.

I can honestly tell you that there are days upon days that I do not even think about alcohol. And, even now, when I do it is a passing thought. All I have to do is remind myself how bad that hangover felt and that does it for me. I thought the days would get harder and harder and they have truly gotten easier for me. Maybe I am one of the luck ones in this journey. But, I keep reminding myself EVERY DAMN DAY why I am here and what my motivation is. I love my hubby and my family and I do not want to lose them! I keep reminding myself what it felt like to have blue lights pop on in the rear view mirror. What it felt like to go to freaking JAIL! What it felt like to go through nearly a years worth of meetings and court required programs. But more than ANY OF THAT, what it felt like to finally stand up and say enough is enough and put down the damn bottle once and for all. It feels GREAT! You can have the same feeling.. BUT ---- YOU HAVE TO WANT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE and only YOU can make it happen... Huge hugs to ya and I hope you grab this SOB by the horns and show it who is the boss...
