205 Days and feeling mighty fine!

[Nursie]

I was missing you guys and had a few minutes to check in. Before I did that I figured I should check my sobriety counter. And what do you know, I'm at 205 days.
205 mornings of waking up sober.
205 days of getting stronger and more reliable.
205 days of learning to love myself again.
205 days of saying "I don't drink. I'm not a drinker!"
205 days of looking my children and husband with sober eyes and fresh breath.
205 days of getting my life back in order and seeing the benefits.
205 days of becoming myself again. Being reliable, present, and active.
205 days of going to sleep instead of passing out.
My last drunk was 205 days ago and I said "no matter what, no matter who, no matter where, I cannot ever drink again".

Somewhere I gained a feeling of peace. Inexplicably, the desire to drink collided with the strength I feel from not drinking. The fear of never being able to drink again was replaced with acceptance and gratitude that I don't ever have to drink again!!

I still get cravings and I still have a hard time sometimes. But my coping mechanisms bring me comfort and I know that those cravings will float away and be replaced with relevant problem solving. Escape seems like an unnecessary trap door.

205 days. I am so humble and grateful for this incredible opportunity to be sober.

Nursie is back and better than ever.

Excellent Nursie, love it. Sure what's not to like about sobriety? Can't see a single negative myself.

Congrats love it Nursie.
We never see this on day 1 sober but hours turn into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, then we hit the year mark, can't wait personally. It is like we are distancing ourselves from a bad place, lovely.
