Well, I've hit and passed 90 days.  It's a bit of a milestone for me because my first attempt at sobriety ended around the time I hit 90 dyas.  Of course I was like "poof, I'm not an alcoholic, I haven't drank in 3 months."  Then went out and drank.  Funny how that works. smile

Anyway, with the help of that relapse, AA, and you guys, I am able to look at this situation more realistically.  Plus, I got my first AA token awhile back.  Pretty cool!

Congrats, keep on moving forward. I had several of those 2 or 3 months and back out again. It's a very slippery time when you're feeling much better and things are starting go well for you and your ego says "hey I must not have a problem". Try an equate Sobriety=Things are going better for me now, give thanks to your Higher Power for bringing you along and don't look back. Meetings are more important then ever now to remind of where you came from, so that you don't have to go back and learn again. Each time we go out the odds of coming back decrease. I'm one of the very lucky ones, for as much as I floundered around for the first 2 years and now have made it too long term sobriety. I am eternally grateful for it and that's the first thought that I have when my eyes open each morning. smile.gif

biggrin Congrats on your 90days, Crystal! It's 1Day@aTime all the way, even for our Deano ;) Thanks for sharing them with us here@MIP biggrin

But, having these milestones does give us something specific to aim for while we're finding our feet & they're something tangible our minds like to hold onto that gives us lifts & senses of achievement. Your early recovery is precious so enjoy every moment of it. Godwilling it won't have to be repeated & we do stay in the Day.

Having managed to reach 2yrs with a program gradually settling into a comfortable & comforting routine I can offer you a hope that your life will continue to get better & more wonderful things are in store for you.

Our fellowship continues to help me deal with my struggles & uncertainties whilst all the while I keep on keeping on not needing a drink ~ for anything. That's amazing & a miracle I am grateful for.

Enjoy your Sobriety & your beginnings.. It's from this all beauty in your life will bloom & I wake up each morning like Dean giving thanks & staying grateful ~ Just For Today. Well Done, Lady :) Danielle x

Congratulations on your 90 days!

Beware the coming holidays. Often the danger isn't in Christmas or New Year but in the middle of January when people's vigilance can slip.

Well done,

Richard.

Yea crystal! Go get that coin girl!!! I am amazed as the months go by how long I have been sober but am reminded on a daily basis, especially by attending meetings, that we all really only have today! I was sick in bed the last 24 hrs with the flu and did my mind play back alot of the "old" times. Things I didnt want to think of but things I have to always remember. I for sure, never want to go to my "first" AA meeting again.
I also realized, I have a life long commitment to staying sober, working the steps again and again and keeping in touch with my HP!!

Keep up the great work!
