Hey all:) I haven't posted anything in a while..just wanted to pop in and say 'hi' I guess. I'm 48 days sober today:) and extremely grateful for this. I've been having trouble with not getting ahead of myself (ie not planning the next 10yrs of my life haha). I'm struggling to remain focused on the moment, but I suppose we all struggle with that. I do know that in the short time I have been sober my life and my perceptions have changed dramatically..and all for the better. I went to 2 meetings today, met some cool people that I can learn from, oh and I didn't drink! At this point that's all I should be concerned with and well, the rest will come as it comes. Though I may feel anxious and a bit 'lost' at times, I have to keep in mind that I haven't really lived life sober since I was about 12, so being an adult (like a real adult) without the protective and destructive influence of booze is a bit surreal at times. Regardless of the anxiety I feel sometimes, it's so much more preferable than running to a bottle. For that I am grateful:)
great post! meetings will help keep you focussed. being sober means you will feel the good feelings and the not so good feelings, and that is a good thing. with your higher power, AA, a sponsor helping you work the steps, meetings, the big book, aa friends, you have all your bases covered... and just don't drink today. keep up the good work
Good to hear from you! Glad the program is working for you. It just keeps gettin' better. :)
