I can’t believe tomorrow is day 8!!!
I’m in my PJs. Getting ready for bed. I can’t believe tomorrow is day 8… 8 days since I’ve had even a sip of wine or alcohol. I feel great. Some emotions are peeping their head. There are some things I cried about today. Some things I need to process still for sure but I feel like I have a clear mind.

I remember those early days of recovery, and that feeling of "I can't believe it." So much of it seemed like a miracle. When I nailed my first year, that "can't believe it" feeling was still there, although it was getting easier to believe by that time. I don't feel that way now, but I clearly remember not believing so many years ago that I would ever see 26 years.
But it doesn't have to feel like a miracle. Sobriety is still as precious today as it was at Day Eight. In fact, the reality is that sobriety is something you deserve, because you earned it. Sometimes I consider it a gift, but it's a gift that I gave myself. Granted, many others helped me along the way and I'm grateful to those that did.
