74 days without a drink, drug, or cigarette.This is the longest I have gone without that I can seriously remember.I never thought I had a problem because I never thought about it.I worked, got paid, and drank.Never got close to anyone for years.Dont let them in you cant get disappointed and you cant lose something you never had.What a life!I thought I had it all.
Sober for 74 days.The farther away from that day the better I feel, the clearer I think, and the more I come in contact with the process of life.I dont want to sound like it is all roses.I have had bad days where I dont feel well or life just doesnt seem to go my way but I deal with it and go on one more day.I am not giving up, saying to Hell with it and going back to the drink.It is a solution to nothing.Simply put you cant have good days without the bad or you would never know the difference.While I was drinking they were all bad.Recovering from the night before, not trusting anyone, only worried about Self, and starting the cycle all over.This process would have never ended without help.
I am determined to make the last time the last time and have learned that you can only do it one day at a time with as much support as you can find. If you are new to this Hang in There a sober life is worth it

Congratulations on the 74 days. Believe it or not, but if I did my math correctly, today is also day 74 for me. I agree the farther away from that last drink the better.
Glad to hear things appear to be going well for you. I do agree a sober life is worth it.
Well done Camitch. That is a hell of a long time to me. And I'm having a REALLY hard time today so that helped a little til I can get to my meeting tonight.
