I was doing pretty well with this for a while… until 2 weeks ago after my boyfriend broke up with me, for no concrete reason. “It’s just not what I want.”
What a lesson of acceptance… I’m grateful (now) that it happened because it really made me look at myself and my spiritual condition. I need to keep God in charge. If I start to think I know what’s best for me or that I know what God’s plan is… I’m totally screwed. It’s a relief today that I can let go and let God do the planning for me, as difficult as it can be.

I have a little over 8 months sober now, after a slip in February. After that, I dove into the program with as much willingness and honesty as I could pray for. The steps are amazing! Although I sometimes wish I didn’t slack so much on them. However, I am proud of my progress, and I’ll be starting 9th step next week… It hasn’t been an easy road, but it’s definitely been worth it. It’s true what they say, my worst day sober is better than my best day drunk. Never thought I’d get to that mindset haha..
“Keep coming back, it works if you work, so work it, you’re worth it, and live!”

I have 90 days sober today!! I feel accomplished, but I also know it’s just the beginning. I see the benefits of living a sober life, and I look forward to my future, for once! I do still struggle sometimes, like last night I went to a birthday party at a restaurant and some people brought wine. It’s crazy how I still have the instinct to have a glass… I see how I have to keep sobriety my #1 priority at all times. But I know I can do it, one day at a time :)
