    A little surreal...

    Wow.
    100 days sober and for it to fall on my birthday is not a predicament to say the least but a small blessing in disguise.
    It was meant to be...100 days on my birthday? Come on...

    I told myself that this year is going to be my year and I am still working on it but so far so good. I never thought I would be sober for this long. It's the longest I have been sober in 5 years. From drinking every single day...

    I just want to send out a few words to the newbies. You CAN do this. Heck yea it's hard...but it's freakin worth it. 1000%.
    My first few weeks were...brutal.
    30 and 60 days were difficult but it gets better. There are times still where I run into difficulty...but we can only focus on ToDAY. And our feelings. We need to feel them after all.

    Just need to keep working it. And wanting it.

    So! This thread is a way of me saying...YAY me!!!
    AND to thank everyone who has helped me, been there for me, talked through things with me through this site. You all know who you are. You were there for me since day 1. All my relapses and slips. My bitching and complaining.
    So thank you. I really probably wouldn't be in the triple digits if it weren't for you guys.

    A special shoutout to Hypernova. I have been following you...always in the nest roll call since I am one day behind you...we are in the triple digits!! Weeee!!!
    Yay us!!!
    And yay to everyone else who is accumulating those sober days.
    We CAN do this!! )

    Bri.

    Sorry for any typos. I am doing this from my phone.
