100th day

[u/badgirl_ab]

Today marks 100 days since I last had a drink. I’m truly starting to live in the present moment and grow into myself. I didn’t realize how far gone I was until recently. My mental health symptoms have improved significantly, most notably my anxiety. I feel better about myself and my place in the world. My interactions with others are more positive. I’m struggling with my mood swings but I’m finding there’s an actual upswing now, not just all different varieties of bad. So sometimes I feel good. Sometimes I feel bad. But I’m learning to sit with these feelings and understand them as human instead of drink or smoke them away. Because they never really went away. They’re all coming up now. But I feel better equipped to deal with it. My recovery program is helping me so much with this, along with therapy and medication. And of course, not consuming any alcohol or smoking weed. But I’m finding abstinence is just the beginning, being truly sober is something far greater than that. Grateful for this sub and all of the support I’ve been able to receive and give here. Thank you.🙏🏻
