Sobriety

Today when I was doing my four mile walk I actually did five and a half this morning since I wasn't going to  make it to my morning meeting. I felt the need to exercise a bit more to clear my head. 

I had posted about my alcoholism a few weeks back. I have not been on OH in about a week. I have been traveling and working nights and days so it has been hard for me to read and post. 

This morning when I was walking my alarm went off. I have it set two times a day to remind me of my sobriety date. Well today I looked at the date.

I have been sober for two months today. It  has not been easy. But my life is so much better then it was before. My kids want to be around me. I know what I did the night before. I don't have to check my phone to see if I texted someone late the night before. 

Learning to love myself and tell myself I am worth it has been a process . Going to meetings have helped me also. There are so many people that want to help. 

I just figured I would throw this out here. 

Have a great weekend. 

I'm glad that you're doing so well. I've never had a problem with alcohol or another drug, just food. But I know firsthand how hard food addiction can be, so I salute you for not only sharing your problem, but facing it head on.

  Great news!  Keep on keepin' on!

Great job!!

I'm glad you can see the benefits of your sobriety. Don't worry about us, we're like a soap opera, your favorite characters will be here when you can tune in again. 

Congrats on two months. 

Congratulations. Be proud!  I'm sending you big cyber hugs. 

  Congratulations and thanks for the update.   Its very courageous of you to share your story with all of us and I hope nothing but the best for you!!

Thanks for posting! Glad to see you back- You are amazing and courageous!

SO MANY CONGRATS on your continued sobriety!!    I am so proud of all your hard work!! 

So proud of you Susan... Thank you for being willing to share....
