Not Where I Was, It's Where I Am.
I just joined yesterday.
I am now 46 days sober, yes, so new to recovery that I am still counting in days, hopefully soon it will be in months, and someday, I hope that it will be in years.
Spiritually I am where I have always been.
I have been metaphysically spiritual my whole life, but not always practicing what I know to be spiritually sound as I let the mundane get in my way from time to time.
I found over the past 6 weeks of reflection that I have always turned to prayer when I have been in troubled times, or panicing over a negative event or possibility, but that I have not been one to be thankful for the grace of spirit that I have already received.
I am actively changing that now.
Physically, I am overweight from the empty calories I consumed while binge drinking more and more frequently and failing to eat properly.
I have started a regime of vitamins and herbal supplements recommended for the recovering alcoholic incusive of Vitamins B, C and E, Milk Thistle, Dandellion Root, Chromium, Gaba, Evening Primrose Oil, etc. and becoming more physically active.
I am still craving my martinis but am hoping that the obsession with thinking about them will pass, they never treated me right, lol.
I am righting this so I can look back in the future and see (hopefully) progression over time.

This is the place to be when you're counting days. This is my 19th day sober. I so far am not really craving my favourites (anything with alcohol in it) and hope to keep it that way. I hope you make it to months and years!! You're definatley off to a good start. Seeing 46 days makes me think I can get there, tomorrow will be 20 and then just 26 more. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. Best wishes!!!
