Day 99 - Last day in double digits!

May 16, 2016
Day 99
Hello!

Well, today is my very last day in the double digit number days of sobriety...hopefully forever!  I cannot wait to get over this whole "quitting" thing.  It is almost as time consuming as drinking was.  But, I need the online support I get from reading all of the blogs, listening to the Bubble Hour and reading books about sobriety.

I am very much looking forward to tomorrow where I will turn the corner and enter the triple digit number of days!  I can't wait to read the 100 day posts of those that are ahead of me!

I think tomorrow I will also read my blog in its entirety to remind myself how far I've come!

I know this sounds really strange, but it really is a surreal feeling being at Day 99.  I never could've imagined it.  I feel like that tomorrow, when I reach 100 days, I will be different!  I know I am still in the early stages and there will still be cravings and triggers...and I still have a lot of work to do on how I deal with things.  But, mentally, I will be different.  I will have made it to a place that I NEVER thought I could get to.  Remember....this time is the only time I've ever made it past a Day 1 in 10+ years!!!

I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!!!  (old Helen Reddy song for you young ones!)

So, today is a big turning point for me!  Tomorrow, I'll be another day older!!!  hahaha!

Wishing you a great day!

Love,
Sober at 53

  1. Isnt it fantastic!! Me too - chided myself a lot, but never seriously tried to quit...until I did. Voila!!

    And it does get better. After a rough weekend Mother's Day (not necessatily related), I found myself going Monday to the following Sunday with NARY A THOUGHT of booze. Whoooooo!

    I've kept a journal from Day One (Jan. 1, this year) and have re-read it often. It's a help...and makes you realize, 'I really am accomplishing something great!'

    Big congrats sober mom!
