Day 137

So this is the longest time I have ever been sober. Feels great this milestone.

Successful this far because of daily reading on SR, and giving myself small targets. Now my target is 6 months.

The other day at the grocery store I found myself standing in front of the cases of beer for a few minutes. I snapped out of it and went about my day.
mint made me wonder though about what I was thinking.

My life before sobriety, if it could be scaled from 1-10, 1 being abject misery and 10 being euphoria was a constant back and forth between 1 and 10. No in betweens.

Now life is a steady 6. Often a 7. But never beyond. I think I need to understand that this is enough and make peace with that.

I never regret not drinking at 7am after all.

Stay safe everyone. And enjoy your weekend!

Congratulations on 137 days.

the other day, I was listening to a financial advice program, and the guy said, “remember what Mary Poppins said—enough is as good as a feast.”

Well done, clarkken! I find equanimity is far better than the high/low emotional see-saw.
