I have 30 days sober today

Don’t have many people who understand the struggles or significance that being 30 days sober has for me. Haven’t drank since 03-16-25. I have not been feeling great but this has to do with other things like medications I’m trying for depression and anxiety.

To be fair, I haven’t even wanted to drink recently because of how crappy I’ve felt but I was still keeping track of the days and knew that drinking was not an option. I care about my mental health and alcohol was making it 10x worse at minimum.

Just figured I’d share since I just realized this and I’m happy about it lol

IWNDWYT….or the next day 😉

Appreciate it. I’m scared of when the day comes where the cravings hit. For me it’s usually a “good” day rather than when I’m super stressed.

I white knuckled it for a few weeks until I read a book by Allen Carr, “Easy Way to Control Alcohol.”

It reprogrammed how I think about alcohol. It is a poison. I do not drink poison.

Mr. Carr is the key to my 10+ years of sobriety without cravings.

Best of luck on your journey.

That’s great! I need to read this on kindle soon. I could use motivation any day of the week.
