So here is my little rant about achieving 30 consecutive days sober. First of all, this is NOT my first rodeo. I've actually made it to 30 days several times now, and my all-time record is 100 days. I know there are exceptions, but I think it's really common for us to play the start - stop - start again - stop again loop in this race. Quitting drinking is not an easy thing to do when it's been part of your life for so long! It's everywhere. It's there on birthdays, holidays, weekends, weddings, funerals, and just about every other day too. It's not easy, and everyone here must agree because we are all here on this site looking for extra support.

So I just tallied up my sober days for the year so far - 30 days drunk, 195 sober. Believe me, I would love for that first number to be 0, but I know it's just a matter of time. But I will say that I am very proud of myself for getting this far. It's been a struggle, and I see many more to come. But just in this short time of being "mostly" sober, my life has changed dramatically for the better. I'm kicking arse at work, I just bought a new house, and I'm finally getting my act together health-wise. Relationships with family and friends are stronger than ever. I've stopped going to the bars, and I wonder if they even notice - probably not. Who cares? I feel better all around, and money isn't seeping out of my wallet like it was before.

So, my advice is to keep trying! Keep inching a little forward in those sober days and keep trying to beat your record. That's what I'm doing!
