Well, it's here. I'm almost at three months of sobriety. This was something that started out as a temporary thing after a bad drinking incident (and culmination of binging for a while). But now I think I want to try and see if I can take it to either 6 months or a year. Because it has been hard and while I'm not quite at the "wow everything is amazing/lots of physical changes" I know I don't want to go back to how things were. If I'm being honest, they were pretty terrible. And I much prefer this version of myself even if it's still a work in progress.

I guess I'm scared as I know it'll affect certain friendships I've had. And the chance does worry me but at the same time I know it's best if I surround myself with folks that are supportive of my sobriety instead of lukewarm or actively harmful. I know that at minimum, I deserve that.

Thinking of everyone in this community today and grateful for the support. But also sympathizing with all the cravings, depression, and emotions that come with sobriety. We've got this, one day at a time. IWNDWYT.
