Somehow - my ticker in my sig got out of synch, but I've fixed it now.

Today is 90 days sober. I know I've hit this mark many times in the past but it's still a big deal to me, and something different this time is deep down I really feel I want to stay sober because I'm tired of starting over and am not sure that I have the strength / energy to start over again.

Thanks everyone for your support.

I'm really glad to hear that you made it this far, and I'm very hopeful that you'll keep it up. I hope you realise how inspirational you've been to me, and I'm sure others. (((hug)))

Dear Split Image...
I'm kind of new here, but I just wanted to give you big kudos and hugs for your strength and courage. What wonderful milestones to get 90 days and to be out there putting a face to your addiction in your community. I'm very excited for you and inspired by your convictions.. You have been very brave, and I hope you will do some self care and affirmations to back up your achievements so that you can use them when you might have a rough day later on. Such a good job!! =)

HURRAY!!! That's wonderful !! 90 Days IS a big deal - you're on your way to a new sober life -- if you continue to go to meetings & do the steps ~ assuming you're in a 12 step program, that is. LOL

You're an inspiration to other newcomers who may think that THEY can't do it -- and you've shown them that they CAN. Good for you !!

Congrats ~ and keep on keepin on. Hugs, Lee



Don't stop until the miracle happens!
