Day 253

Good morning everyone hope all is well for you today. Enjoying a cup of coffee. I'm at 253 days of sober living . see that magic word? Living! Yes this is living . 253days ago it was called something else. Or let me just add a word to it . A living Hell. ✌

Day 53 feels pretty good to me SoberRican. I've been up for 4 hours, did the chores, took a hike with my pooch, and did the grocery shopping. Not even 9:30 a.m. yet. Ahhhh, sobriety. I cannot get over how many more hours there are in the day and how enjoyable that is.

I think I have a few football games in my future today. Hot green tea and a pot of chili. 54 days ago I would have added a few bottles of wine, 4 beers and a pint of scotch. Never would have seen a minute of football, the chili would have spoiled on the stove top because I forgot to put it away, and the tea, and its cup, would have been thrown at the wall at the realization that tomorrow, I will feel like I want to die. No more sir.

I'm not sure how many days it's been. I dont dwell on it. I quit and that is that. I dont think about drinking or not drinking much anymore. I did just pass the 7 month mark though. I won't drink to that. Glad to see it has stuck for you as well.

I didn't even know I am a morning person

I love watching the sun rise over the park and lake michigan at 6am.

Two years ago, that was unthinkable.

Congratulations Sober Rican.

28 days for me and so happy I've stopped. My brain is beginning to calm. More focussed, more able to plan.

It is so much better.
