I have 90 days today.
I feel much better, but not great. I am impatient and want to feel like I have a life, but I'm still feeling a bit depressed and anxious. I must reiterate that it is soooo much better than the first 3 weeks or so. I was on the verge of a total breakdown and I never want to go back to that agony again. My AV rears it's ugly head sometimes, but I realize drinking is no longer an option, if I want to keep on living. This time has gone by very slowly and it feels like years instead of months. My goal for the next 30 days is to work on gratitude on a daily basis. It feels like I've terrorized myself with my drinking, to make an analogy and I will learn to live a life worth living. Anyway I am counting on things improving. Ciao

JBird,
congratulations on your 90 days!
the "i feel much better, but not great" makes me think of expectations. when i stopped drinking, i had them, about how it would be, and how i would be.
not entirely sure where they all came from, but they weren't realistic. go with how it is and what you can do.
"much better" is much better, yes?

Yes, expectations.
Hmmmmmm? You're correct. I do have expectations and I don't want to set myself up. Acceptance of the way things are in this moment. AND they're pretty good considering the alternative Thanks for that Finnie, that helps.

Congrats on 90 days, what are you doing to reward yourself? Sometimes we put so much expectations into achieving a certain amount of sobriety, we set ourselves up to be let down. 90 days is HUGE and you should be very proud. Schedule things to look forward to, try something new, there are so many things you can do that you couldn't when you weren't sober, and the weather starting to get nice again-maybe you just need some Vitamin D!

Good job. It was starting to get a little better for me after 90 days. That was a milestone in a way, but I was really looking forward to day 100! Triple digits!
Hang in there. Your doing great!
Day 160.
