It's finally here.
The big Nine-Oh.
I've been looking ahead to it for so long now, and now that it's here, I actually had to remind myself that it had arrived.
Funny.
When I was approaching 30 days, I was soooo excited and energized, thinking I was ready to take on the world.
At 60 days, I was gritting my teeth, wondering why it even mattered.
Now, here at 90 days, I feel quiet satisfaction in having attained this once-impossible goal, but I also realize how tenuous and fragile my newfound sobriety is, and how difficult the road is that stretches before me.
I am resigned to continuing to follow it. I really do know my life is better without alcohol, even though at times, the lure of numbing my emotions is still there. I am acquiring tools and skills which equip me to fight the urges, and deal with my raw emotions, though, and these are crucial to living life as it is and will be.
Occasionally, I experience joy, and even serenity. These fruits sustain me, and make me hungry for more, which I know will come, if I continue my journey.
I treasure the friends I've made, and continue to make along the way. I invite you all to celebrate with me today!

90 days. :-)
A little very heavy metal, Judas Priest styleeeeeeee methinks:
"Making a curve or taking the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend!
You'll weather every storm that's coming atcha!"
You rock, baby!
(((hug)))
