well done man :)

Thanks so much Dee. :)

I haven't had much to say in the past few days, but things are remaining consistent and I'll be at the two month mark soon. Glad to be living authentically, sometimes I wince a little thinking of how unhealthy my past coping mechanisms were. That said, I'm continuing to love myself and move forward free from guilt and shame.

You too Dee! :)

Day 53. Going to try a new church tomorrow. Visited the zoo today which was fun. Glad to be making new, positive memories here.

You're only a week away from two months sober! :hug: Hope you like the new church. :)

I know, Least. Time is really flying!

Thanks for the hugs, hope you're doing well friend. :)

Day 54.

I don't know if this is encouraging or discouraging, but I still occasionally have drinking dreams. Just within the past couple nights in fact. But in the dreams I seem to know that it's just a dream and that I'm not really drinking; occasionally I'll catch myself saying in the dream that this drinking won't count. Weird! At any rate, it can be a little disconcerting but it's never derailed my sobriety. Nor do the dreams seem likely to go away if they haven't in my eight full years of sobriety!

Thanks MythOfSisyphus. It's interesting that you've experienced those too. Maybe it's my mind's way of coping with and healing from the past. I do think sleep heals on some level, but I'm not entirely sure.

Day 57.

Day 58. Closing in on two months, another nice milestone for me.

Having less to say as I continue to heal from addictive behavior, but I will continue being honest and engage with my community. I still care and don't want to phone it in.

Love you guys. Oh, and happy Halloween! :Pumpkinshiny:

You too man :)

Day 59.

Almost 2 months...we’ll done! Love your attitude. The right attitude plus gratitude is the way to go in sobriety.

And I can say the growth continues. For some reason month 9 was a turning point for me. I’m able to face challenges like cutting back on sugar without fear of relapse. Keep going!

That's awesome Sober45. Yeah, along with recovery I've been trying to make other positive life changes. I've stopped drinking soda and work out regularly now.

It's been two months, and like you said the growth will continue. I'm just glad to be at a point where I have an overarching feeling of peace about things going forward.

congrats on 60 days Convalescence :)

Thanks so much Dee. Couldn't do it without you. :)

I've decided for another month, I'd like to keep journaling each day to make sure my thought patterns continue to heal and I feel alright before deciding what to do next. It's a simple thing I can do for my health and to show that I take this seriously.

Eventually I plan to journal weekly like in my old journal, but for now I feel comfortable continuing on to cement how amazing things are now. I hope that makes sense.

Two months in, and day 1 going on another 30.
