74 days and still going strong.....
Permalink  
 


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

Hey Camitch,

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.
